Recently, China Railway Construction Group and China Railway Construction International Group have joined forces and officially signed the contract for the Infrastructure and Supporting Relocation Project of King Saud University in Saudi Arabia with Diriyah Company, a subsidiary of the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF), adopting the innovative "Design-Build + Operation and Maintenance (DB+OM)" model. This cooperation marks a solid step forward in deepening the cooperation between the two sides in the field of international infrastructure construction.

The Infrastructure and Supporting Relocation Project of King Saud University is located on the university campus in the northwest of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. It is a core infrastructure project of the Diriyah ancient city development series of projects. This project covers a number of complex construction contents. Not only does it need to complete the design, construction and relocation of the public utility and administrative office areas of King Saud University, but it also includes the construction of the district cooling plant, water storage facilities, sewage treatment plant, energy transmission stations, utility tunnels, office buildings and ancillary facilities. After the project is completed, it will significantly enhance the modernization level of the infrastructure of King Saud University and further improve the urban functional system of the Diriyah area, injecting strong impetus into Saudi Arabia's efforts to advance the "Vision 2030" and achieve the goal of diversified economic development.

For China Railway Construction, the Infrastructure and Supporting Relocation Project of King Saud University is of great significance. This is the first large-scale public facility project it has undertaken in the Middle East region and has become an important milestone for the enterprise to deeply cultivate the Saudi market and expand into the Middle East market. In the future, China Railway Construction will take this project as a strategic fulcrum, give full play to its professional advantages and rich experience in the field of engineering construction, continue to increase its investment and layout in the Middle East market, and actively explore more cooperation opportunities. It will practice the initiative of high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative with practical actions, contribute the "wisdom of China Railway Construction" and the "strength of China Railway Construction" to the realization of Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030", and jointly write a new chapter of win-win cooperation.
