KSA crown prince to send team to Dhaka in Feb

Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman is set to send a high profile delegation to Bangladesh in the second week of February to assess potentials of investment in Bangladesh and trade between the two countries.
A delegation led by KSA’s commerce and investment minister Majed Alkassadbi and economy and planning minister Mohammad Al Tuwaijri would be in Dhaka for a series of meetings with their Bangladesh counterparts on February 10, diplomatic sources said. 
Representatives from Public Investment Fund and Saudi Fund for Development would also be included in the delegation. 
Bangladesh finance minister AHM Mustafa Kamal, commerce minister Tipu Munshi, planning minister MA Mannan and Bangladesh Investment Development Authority top officials would hold meetings with the Saudi delegation.
The Saudi delegation is also expected to call on prime minister Sheikh Hasina during the visit.
Mohammed bin Salman expressed his intent to send a delegation to Bangladesh as prime minister Hasina stressed the need during her visit to the Arab kingdom in October last year for Saudi investment here and increase trade between the two countries, diplomats said. 
When asked if any agreement would be signed during the visit, a senior Bangladesh diplomat said the two Saudi ministers would mainly assess potentials of investment in Bangladesh.
The two sides would also assess the scopes for increasing bilateral trade, he said. 
The government held an inter-ministerial meeting on Tuesday at the Prime Minister’s Office for preparations of the Saudi delegation. Top government officials joined the meeting.
