Saudi FM Reveals Anticipated Crown Prince Visit to US

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir meets with Costa Rican counterpart Manuel Gonzalez Sanz in the building of the Saudi Foreign Ministry in Riyadh on Thursday, Asharq Al-Awsat

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has received an invitation from US President Donald Trump to visit the US, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said.

Jubeir also said Thursday that the Crown Prince has accepted the invitation.

He said that Saudi authorities are contacting Washington for details and arrangements needed for the visit.

The announcement came during Jubeir’s joint press conference with Costa Rican counterpart Manuel Gonzalez Sanz.

On that note, both Costa Rica and Saudi Arabia signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Thursday.

Jubeir noted that Sanz’ visit is historical. The two discussed bilateral relations.

“The relations between the two countries in all fields have promising opportunities,” Jubeir said.

He also expressed the Kingdom’s appreciation of Costa Rica’s positions on regional matters.

“It is an honor for me to visit Saudi Arabia, a historic visit for the first time. We are pleased to have the opportunity to invest in agriculture, tourism and mutual investment. In my meeting with the minister, we discussed cooperation and what Costa Rica can offer in tourism opportunities,” Sanz said.

“I would also like to refer to the visit of Saudi Minister of Commerce and Investment Majed Al-Qasabi to Costa Rica. This was a message for the establishment of cooperation between the two countries in the fields of economy, agriculture, trade, tourism and investment, and there are many things in common between the two countries,” he added.

Sanz said owning land in Costa Rica was a straightforward proposition.

“We are an open economy and investors can own land without any local partner and without any restrictions,” he said.
