Saudi crown prince to make official visit to France next week

Riyadh (Web Desk): Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will make an official visit next week to France, Arab News reported on Thursday.

Prince Salman, the 32-year-old de facto Saudi leader, "will be on an official visit Monday and Tuesday, mainly to discuss culture, tourism, investment and new technologies," a source close to the Saudi delegation said.

The crown prince has been on a lengthy tour of the US, during which he has met with President Tump, as well as former members of the country’s government.

He has also met representatives of the international media including Warner Brothers, when they discussed Saudi Arabia’s plans to open cinemas for the first time in decades.

In March Mohammed bin Salman signed a multibillion dollar investment deal with Egypt’s President Sisi.

He also went to the UK where he held meetings with Prime Minister Theresa May, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and dined with the British royal family.

During his visit to the UK the two countries signed a massive $60 billion trade deal.
