PM Imran Khan Will Attend Saudi Investor Conference
PM Imran Khan Will Attend Saudi Investor Conference: Prime Minister Imran Khan will visit Riyadh on October 23, on the special invitation of King Salman bin Abdel Aziz, to participate in the two-day “Future Investment Initiative (FII),” conference that would host leading businesspersons, investors, corporate giants, representatives of hi-tech industry and major media outlets at one platform.
Imran Khan’s participation in first day of the conference – termed as “Davos in the desert” is aimed at projecting Pakistan’s economic and investment potential and the Prime Minister’s vision of the country in the five years to come, the Foreign Office announced Friday.
Prime Minister will also call on King Salman and meet Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman. Matters of mutual interest will be discussed.
The Conference provides an opportunity to interact with important business leaders interested in investing in Pakistan, a statement from the Foreign Office said.
“Future Investment Initiative (FII)” is now an annual feature in Saudi Arabia. The first FII was held last year, with participation of 3800 people from 90 countries. This year’s conference is also likely to attract participation from a large number leading figures.
“The Prime Minister’s participation in the conference signifies our solidarity with the Kingdom in its efforts to become emerging hub of international business and investment,” the statement said.
Many media and business leaders have been pulling out of the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Summit following the disappearance and suspected murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
“We can confirm Diane Greene will not be attending the FII Summit,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
The World Bank, The New York Times, Bloomberg, CNBC and Uber are among the other companies that have pulled out of the event in recent days.
“I’m very troubled by the reports to date about Jamal Khashoggi,” Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement last week. “We are following the situation closely, and unless a substantially different set of facts emerges, I won’t be attending the FII conference in Riyadh.”
