Saudi Arabia wants to localize its pharmaceutical industries in anticipation of any future changes at the level of supply chains.
Saudi Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources Bandar al-Khorayef announced that localization is now the government’s top priority given the importance of drug security.
Khorayef stressed that all parts of the industrial system complement their roles in providing the necessary infrastructure, financing and logistical support.
The minister visited Monday al-Madina al-Munawwara Industrial City where he inspected services and progress in various projects.
He indicated that localization and providing a suitable job environment for Saudis is equally important as localizing the pharmaceutical industry itself.
