China is Saudi Arabia’s largest trading partner and biggest customer of its primary commodity: crude oil.
The China-Saudi Investment Conference began on Tuesday in Beijing while the kingdom’s minister of investment, Khalid Al-Falih, visited.
Senior officials, CEOs, investors and other business leaders from the two countries descended on the conference, which is expected to attract more than 700 delegates.
In a speech at the summit, Falih urged Chinese investors to “seize” business opportunities in the desert kingdom.
