A high-level delegation from Saudi Arabia, led by Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih, will arrive in Pakistan on October 10 for a two-day visit.

This visit comes ahead of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit scheduled later this month in Islamabad.

During their visit, agreements worth approximately $2 billion are expected to be signed between the two nations.

The delegation will include representatives from various sectors, including construction, engineering, financial services, IT, hospitality, agriculture, food, energy, and petroleum.

Al-Falih will oversee the signing of several memorandums of understanding (MOUs) and engage in business-to-business meetings.

He is scheduled to address a business forum in Islamabad, where he will meet with senior leaders from Pakistan’s private sector.
