Located on the Arabian Peninsula in southwestern Asia, Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the Middle East, with Riyadh as its capital. Major cities in the country include Jeddah (the economic center of the Red Sea coast), Mecca (the first holy place of Islam, which attracts Muslims from all over the world to perform Hajj every year), Medina (the second holy place of Islam), etc. The country is rich in oil resources and is one of the largest oil exporters in the world. Rich in oil resources, it is one of the world's largest oil exporters, and in recent years, it has been actively promoting the "2030 Vision" to promote economic diversification. Culturally, Islam is the core religion, and traditional Arab customs are preserved, while modernization is rapid, with well-developed transportation and infrastructure.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
