World Economic Forum postpones planned Jeddah meeting, Saudi Arabia says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe World Economic Forum has postponed a meeting that had been due to take place in Saudi Arabia next month on global collaboration, growth and energy “in light of current regional developments,” Saudi Arabia’s state news agency says.
The WEF Global Collaboration and Growth Meeting had been scheduled to be held in Jeddah on April 22–23 but Iran, which is at war with United States and Israel, has been launching missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.
The Saudi Press Agency says the decision to postpone the meeting was made following consultations with the Saudi Ministry of Economy and Planning. It says another date for the event will be announced in due course.
