Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Users of the platform “X”, formerly Twitter, interacted with the statements of Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir about Saudi Arabia’s desire to exploit its uranium reserves in industries related to nuclear energy to provide jobs.
During a dialogue session at the World Economic Forum in Davos, a journalist asked Al-Jubeir: “If Saudi Arabia wants to obtain nuclear energy for civilian purposes, why does it want a uranium enrichment program on its soil? While other countries had such “since the United Arab Emirates did not need this.” To provide nuclear energy for civil purposes.
The Saudi minister replied: “The reason is very simple… We have large reserves of uranium in Saudi Arabia and we want to benefit from them on an economic level. We don’t want anyone to take our land and transport it and recognize its value and the industry that provides it and the associated industries and the impact it brings and benefit from it outside of Saudi Arabia. We want jobs.” In Saudi Arabia, we want industries in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Jubeir added: “Since we have the resources in the kingdom, we have no problems with international rules, and we are in dialogue with the International Atomic Energy Agency and can fulfill whatever they ask… That is something between us and.” them, and that is what we will do, and I will not negotiate with you, with all due respect, and certainly not here.” “I am not the person who has the authority to negotiate this matter. We have our experts in this field.”
The Saudi minister continued: “I can tell you that as a country that has enormous reserves of uranium and has enormous expected reserves of uranium, we will not allow others to transport our soil, re-refine it and benefit from the added value there, and In the end we end up getting 5 cents out of 100. We want the added value in Saudi Arabia and we want jobs in Saudi Arabia and we want industries related to enrichment in Saudi Arabia.”
Al-Jubeir added: “This is a very reasonable request. We are traders and want to make profits in Saudi Arabia. We obviously need nuclear energy, and we believe there is a way to do it that meets Saudi Arabia’s requirements.” “Our energy, what’s so illogical about that? If we didn’t have uranium, the story would be completely different, but we have uranium resources in Saudi Arabia and we want to benefit from them.”
The Saudi minister continued: “We see ourselves as energy exporters to the world and we want to sell you nuclear energy that you can use and save energy. We want to sell you oil and gas, clean energy and renewable energy. Energy. We want to sell you the entire spectrum of energy products.”
