Amazon.com Inc on Wednesday launched a website for shoppers in Saudi Arabia, showing its continued business interests there despite a public dispute between Riyadh and the company's chief executive, Jeff Bezos.
The website is a re-branding for Saudi customers of Souq.com, a Middle East e-commerce platform that Amazon acquired in 2017. Shoppers' account information with Souq automatically transferred to the new address, amazon.sa, Amazon said on the site.Amazon spokespeople did not immediately answer a request for comment on what prompted the move. The company last year similarly converted Souq's website in the United Arab Emirates to a re-branded Amazon portal, amazon.ae.
Bezos last year said the corporate owner of a U.S. tabloid that had published texts between him and his girlfriend was being investigated for alleged work on Saudi Arabia's behalf.
