The event included the opening of a new visa application center and exhibition space, called Casa Italia.

The goal is to showcase Italian expertise in various industries, such as fashion, design, automotive, and space.

The exhibition space will be used to promote Italy commercially, culturally, and scientifically, with the opening event focusing on Italy's contributions to the space industry.

On Tuesday, Italy celebrated Saudi Arabia's National Day with a reception in Rome.

The event was significant as Italy and Saudi Arabia have been strengthening their partnership in various sectors, including space exploration.

In 2022, the Italian Space Agency and Saudi Space Commission signed an agreement to collaborate more closely.

The wider goal of the celebrations was to showcase the growing relationship between Italy and Saudi Arabia in politics, trade, scientific research, academics, and culture.

Italian exports to Saudi Arabia increased by 20 percent last year, and Italy aims to further develop the bilateral relationship.

The Italian products are gaining popularity in Saudi Arabia due to their quality, variety, and creativity.

Saudi Arabia is an essential market for Italian exports.

To celebrate this partnership, 'Made in Italy Day' is being celebrated in Saudi Arabia.

A new visa application center, managed by AlmaViva and VFS Global, has been opened at Loclizer Mall in Riyadh, with similar services available in Jeddah and Dammam.
