Major deals expected during Saudi crown prince鈥檚 London visit

LONDON: 黑料社区 expects to sign agreements with Britain covering a range of issues during Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman鈥檚 visit to London this week, Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said on Monday.
Britain鈥檚 planned exit from the EU did not reduce its attractiveness as an investment destination, the minister told reporters, and he said he expected the crown prince鈥檚 visit to take bilateral relations to a higher level.
鈥淥ur relationship is so strong that the talks will be broad and wide ranging. There will be agreements and memorandums of understanding signed in a number of areas involving a broad range of issues,鈥 he said during a media briefing at the Saudi embassy.
Asked whether Britain鈥檚 departure from the EU, scheduled for March 2019, would affect Riyadh鈥檚 view of how attractive Britain is as an investment destination, Al-Jubeir said: 鈥淲e don鈥檛 think so. We think that Britain is one of the great powers.
鈥淏ritish ingenuity and British technology and British know-how is not going to change whether you鈥檙e part of the EU or not part of the EU.鈥
