Saudi Arabia and China showed deepened ties with a series of strategic deals on Thursday during a visit to Riyadh by Chinese President Xi Jinping, including one with tech giant Huawei, whose growing foray into the Gulf region has raised U.S. security concerns.
King Salman signed a strategic partnership agreement with Xi, which received a lavish welcome in a country forging new partnerships beyond the West.
Xi's car was escorted by members of the Saudi Royal Guard riding Arabian horses and carrying Chinese and Saudi flags to the king's palace. He later attended a welcome banquet.
