US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm will visit Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates next week, in an effort to enhance climate cooperation and discuss pressing regional issues.

This visit comes in the context of ongoing efforts to deepen ties between the United States and the Gulf states, especially in the areas of energy transition and environmental sustainability.

Granholm's meeting with the Net Zero Producers Forum, which includes countries representing 40% of global oil and gas production, will be an opportunity to discuss strategies for reducing emissions and promoting the use of clean energy.

The meeting aims to achieve tangible progress in combating climate change through new technical initiatives and innovations in the field of energy.

At the same time, the US administration and Saudi Arabia continue talks on providing security guarantees and civilian nuclear assistance, which underscores the importance of bilateral relations in achieving regional security and stability.

These talks, led by the White House and the State Department, demonstrate the strategic priority of the partnership with the Gulf in light of the current geopolitical challenges.

Granholm's visit highlights the United States' commitment to strengthening international cooperation in the fields of energy and climate, and adopting more sustainable policies that rely on renewable energy sources, as part of its efforts to achieve net-zero goals and confront global climate challenges.
