EEUU y Arabia Saudita firman acuerdo de cooperación nuclear


El secretario de Energía de Estados Unidos, Chris Wright, y el ministro de Energía de Arabia Saudita, Su Alteza Real el Príncipe Abdulaziz bin Salman, firmaron este miércoles un acuerdo de cooperación nuclear pacífica, conocido comúnmente como acuerdo 123, junto con un acuerdo bilateral de salvaguardias complementario.

En conjunto, estos dos acuerdos sientan las bases legales para una asociación multimillonaria de décadas de duración que impulsa varios objetivos económicos y estratégicos prioritarios, incluida la no proliferación nuclear.

El acuerdo 123 brinda un gran acceso a las empresas estadounidenses al programa de energía nuclear saudí, beneficiando a la industria, los trabajadores y las cadenas de suministro estadounidenses, al tiempo que ayuda a satisfacer las necesidades energéticas de Arabia Saudita.

Israel-Saudi peace can end all hope for Palestinian statehood - opinion

Netanyahu is unwilling and unable to give Saudis and Americans what they say they want – Palestinian statehood – but in reality, both are willing to settle for much less.

(July 17, 2020 / JNS) One of the most unexpected, lesser known and not often reported bilateral relationships is the ties between Israel and Azerbaijan. While both countries are small, Israel is constantly garnering global headlines and attention for better or worse. The same cannot be said for Azerbaijan,
