A joint working team was formed to reinforce the strategic partnership between the UAE and Saudi Arabia in the housing sector, to provide unified housing services and launch joint projects, as part of the work of the Saudi-Emirati Coordination Council.
The team is responsible for launching joint housing initiatives, performing studies and presen-ting propositions to the council’s executive committee, as well as establishing a knowledge platform for unifying standards related
to the construction sector and construction materials.
It will also coordinate the implementation of laws that prioritise housing projects and construction materials produced in the two countries, as well as in other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member countries. Dr Abdullah bin Mohammed Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Minister of In-frastructure Development and Chairman of the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, said that
the UAE believes in the importance of strengthening its cooperation with Saudi Arabia
in providing joint housing services, to achieve housing sustainability.
