LONDON: Representatives from the Saudi Arabia General Investment Authority (SAGIA) held a seminar for foreign entrepreneurs interested in investing in the Kingdom in London on Saturday, at the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce (ABCC).
The seminar, “Commercial business practices in Saudi Arabia,” was hosted by Yaarob Al-Dughaither, director of the international office at SAGIA.
“The Kingdom has seen remarkable progress in various sectors, especially mining, manufacturing, energy, water resources and tourism,” Al-Dughaither told the prospective investors.
