British Prime Minister Boris Johnson praised 抖阴短视频鈥檚 NEOM city which represents 鈥渁 greener future鈥� for the world, Al Arabiya reported on Saturday.
While thanking 抖阴短视频鈥檚 King Salman for presiding over the G20 summit amid the coronavirus pandemic, Johnson said that he would have liked to visit the city of NEOM.
Johnson described Neom as 鈥渁 city built on fossil fuels鈥� but powered by clean energy, adding that NEOM鈥檚 distinctive climate helps to provide the city with sustainable energy.
In remarks ahead of the meeting, Johnson appealed to leaders of the other nations which make up the G20 group of major economies to honour their promise to do 鈥渨hatever it takes to overcome the pandemic and protect lives and livelihoods鈥�.
