Saudi Arabia: Promising military ties with South Koreanote

The Saudi General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) hosted a workshop last Monday (18/10/21) with South Korean investors on the sidelines of the 2021 Seoul International Aerospace Defense Exhibition (ADEX 2021), in the presence of representatives from the Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) and the Saudi Ministry of Investment.

There is talk that this comes as part of the Kingdom's plans to diversify its Asian arms suppliers, especially since the Saudi-South Korean defense relations do not pose a negative impact on Saudi Arabia’s strategic partnership with the United States.

What will the Kingdom's military cooperation with South Korea include?

Which particular military fields are GAMI and SAMI interested in?

Tactical Report answers these questions and more in the following 474-word report.
