Anqari, the leader of the Saudi side in the council, pointed to the growth of Saudi Korean commercial relations which, he said, reflect deep friendship and understanding and yield positive results over the years. He hoped that Koreans will be among the first to pour investments in the Kingdom, based on the deep-rooted ties binding the two countries. On his part, the leader of the Korean side Kim Sun-dong thanked the Saudi side, noting that Saudi Arabia is working as a locomotive of the Middle East economics not only in oil industry but also in non-oil industrial areas. Especially, considering the Saudi's ambitious five-year economic plan, privatization of major industries such as power, and telecommunication, and open policy for accessing WTO, I'm confident that the prospect of Saudi Arabian economy is much brighter than ever, he told the gathering. --More 2351 Local Time 2051 GMT
