Saudi crown prince says satisfied with investment conference in Riyadh

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said on Tuesday he was satisfied with the Future Investment Initiative conference as he toured the venue.

"Great, more people more money," he told reporters.

Organized by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), the three-day event aims to draw investments with a view to diversifying the kingdom’s oil-based economy.

Several major banks, corporations and businessmen have boycotted the conference, which is held under the shadow of an international outcry over Khashoggi’s murder at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
