RIYADH, 21 Oct. - (ANA) - Saudi Arabia has postponed its flagship Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference after a surge in Houthi attacks on the kingdom. The annual gathering was scheduled to take place from October 26 to 29 in Riyadh.

 

FII chief executive Princess Dr Maha Bint Mishari Al Saud said in a statement the 10th edition of the conference "will now take place in 2027", and that the new dates would be announced "very soon".

 

The decision to postpone the event follows a series of missile and drone attacks by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group, including strikes on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport. The attacks have disrupted air travel and raised security concerns among international executives and investors.  - (ANA) -
