ISLAMABAD: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Saturday invited Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to attend the ninth Future Investment Initiative (FII) Forum, the annual investment gathering often dubbed “Davos in the Desert.”

The FII brings together global policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs and innovators to explore investment trends, emerging technologies and global economic strategies in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Sharif attended the event in Riyadh last October during a two-day official visit, engaging with Saudi leadership and participating in high-level discussions on economic and strategic cooperation.

“Amb. Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, called on the Prime Minister at the Prime Minister House earlier today,” Sharif’s office said in a statement after the meeting.

“The Ambassador handed over to the Prime Minister a signed invitation letter from His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud to participate in the ninth Future Investment Initiatives (FII) Forum to be held in Riyadh from 27-30 October, 2025.”
