For its part, the Saudi Arabian Culture Mission plans to promote STX internships to Saudi students, STX said.

The group said that it would also work with the Saudi Arabian Culture Mission to develop training programs for students interning at STX companies.

“The MOU will not only help provide an opportunity to Saudi Arabians to join global companies, but also provide the foundations for STX to expand businesses in the Middle East,” STX Corp. president Choo Sung-yob said.
