Saudi Arabia nominates Hanan Balkhy for WHO director-general post
Saudi Arabia has nominated Dr. Hanan Balkhy for the role of World Health Organization director-general for the 2027–2032 term.
France and Saudi Arabia have signed a memorandum of understanding for a $7 billion investment to create three theme parks near Paris. The agreement was made during a two-day visit to France by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The theme parks, which will be built near Cergy-Pontoise, about 30km from Paris, are expected to create 22,000 new jobs. According to The National UAE, one of the parks will be manga-themed, featuring the Japanese manga series Dragon Ball.
The parks will be located in an area that once housed France's first theme park, Mirapolis, which closed 35 years ago due to financial difficulties. The site was reportedly chosen for its proximity to Paris and the entertainment resort Disneyland Paris.
