China and Saudi Arabia have signed 14 cooperative agreements during a visit by Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Chinese vice Foreign Minister Zhang Ming on Thursday said.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and King Salman attended the signing ceremony after their talks at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Those agreements covered a wide range of cooperation areas, Zhang said, noting that a memorandum of understanding on production capacity and investment cooperation between the two governments worth about 65 billion US dollars involves 35 cooperative projects.

The King is on a state visit to China from March 15 to 18 as a guest of Xi.
