Brasilia - Brazil has strengthened a secret agreement to export products and technologies to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to build its first military explosives factory. The factories were established by a Brazilian company at the request of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which, by 2030, aims to "provide all military demand" to the country on explosives and explosive valves, which are elements that could be useful in wars and conflicts in the Middle East.
The permission to sell equipment and services to Saudi Arabia was granted in the second half of 2018, in the last stage of the Michel Tamer administration, but the main construction stages were carried out under the government of Jayer Bolsonaro, between 2019 and 2022. In parallel, the export of military technology to Saudis increased. The private defense industry with other countries needs the approval of three ministries: defense, science and ITAMARATY.
Building the Brazilian military explosives and technology factory is part of Saudi military attention and activity
The company that requested and obtained permission from the Brazilian government to close the contract with the Saudis is the Mac Jee, based in Sao Jose Dos Campus (SP). The structure that was installed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia operates in about 500,000 square meters and is located within the Saudi Chemical Company Ltd. (SCCL).
The area where the military explosives factory is located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was built with a Brazilian technology..

Encouraging but not surprising given the strong petrochemical and overall chemical sector in KSA. One of the most developed and sophisticated on a global scale.
Not sure about international conventions in this regard and whether or not KSA has signed such conventions. In any case I am convinced that all main powers of the world are covertly engaging in similar regardless of any signed conventions. I do not see why KSA should be any different here and hopefully such weapons will only be a deterrent and in a perfect world never used in the first place.
The Brazil cooperation has always fascinated me and it was always something that I have encouraged. Given that Brazil is home to one of the largest Arab diasporas on the planet (an estimated 10 million, some sources say even 15 million Brazilians are of Arab ancestry) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Brazilians and that it is a country with a relatively well-developed local arms industry, non-aligned country too (mostly independent due to its size and regional influence) cooperation with them was always a natural step. I think that EDGE (UAE) has even attracted Brazilian employees. I wonder if KSA (SAMI and others) have done something similar?
In any case there is a lot of room for successful and mutually beneficial cooperation.
