CAIRO (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia signed a memorandum of understanding with China’s Huawei Technologies on Thursday on cloud computing and building high-tech complexes in Saudi cities, the government communication office said in a statement.

The MoU was signed during the Chinese president’s visit to Saudi Arabia which Beijing said marked its biggest diplomatic initiative in the Arab world.
