HRH Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the UK

In one of his first engagements with the private sector since taking office, HRH Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the UK, will brief Asia House Corporate Members on the Vision 2030 initiative and the key areas of investment in the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia’s focus on economic diversification away from oil is rapidly creating new investment opportunities in the kingdom, ranging from the education and hospitality sectors to technology, infrastructure and renewables. This increasing diversification aims to create a more stable and sustainable economy – beneficial to both local and foreign investors.

Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Gulf with strategic positioning that places it right at the centre of international trade, connecting the three continents of Africa, Asia and Europe.
