The MoU aims to boost joint efforts in nuclear safety, radiation protection, and security measures, primarily through the exchange of technical expertise and knowledge between the two authorities. Key areas of cooperation include radiation laboratories and analysis, the safe transport of radioactive materials, and preparedness for nuclear and radiological emergencies. The agreement reflects the strategic partnership and longstanding ties between Egypt and Saudi Arabia and highlights both agencies' advanced capabilities to enhance nuclear and radiological safety standards.
