Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi Arabia has launched a plan to Saudise 15,000 job opportunities in the telecommunications sector over the coming period, two ministers said.

The telecommunications and information technology (IT) sector is attractive for investment amid the kingdom’s strategy to expand it, Ahmad Alrajhi, the minister of Labor and Social Development (MLSD), said on Twitter.

In mid-December, four Saudi bodies inked a deal to hire 40,000 Saudis in the healthcare sector.

Alrajhi said last December that the ministry was planning to sign agreements to nationalise 95,000 job opportunities over the coming period.
