Bilateral trade

Bilateral trade volume was only $290 million when China and Saudi Arabia established diplomatic relations 20 years ago. This number grew more than 140 fold to reach $41.8 billion in 2008, falling to $32.6 billion during the recent global financial crisis.

China imported some 42 million tons of crude oil from Saudi Arabia last year, reaching a record high. That number is expected to climb to 50 million this year.
