He added that the region offers "promising" investment opportunities and seeks to further develop its economic ties with the Kingdom.
The two sides discussed means to enhance economic, trade, and investment cooperation, increase trade exchange, promote joint investments and open new prospects for private sector cooperation, according to ACI statement.
