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.
Located in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, Al-Ahsa is one of the important cities in Saudi Arabia, known for its rich oil resources and deep cultural heritage. As one of the core cities in the Eastern Province, Al-Khaji is not only an important base for the Saudi oil industry, but also has a vast oasis agricultural area that produces high quality agricultural products such as dates. The city has a long history and is home to the UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site of the Al-Ahsa Oasis, which demonstrates the perfect fusion of traditional irrigation systems and urban development in the Arabian Peninsula. In recent years, with the advancement of Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030", Al Khaji has continued to make efforts in industrial diversification and tourism development, becoming an important node connecting the economy and culture of the eastern region of Saudi Arabia.
