Saudi Arabia has invited Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus to attend the ninth edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII9) to be held in Riyadh on October 27-30, 2025.
Saudi Ambassador to Dhaka Dr Abdullah Zafer bin Abiyah handed over the invitation of Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman to the Chief Adviser during a meeting at the State Guest House Jamuna on Sunday, said the Chief Adviser’s Press Wing on Monday.
This is the first time a head of government from Bangladesh has been invited to the annual event being held since 2017.
The Chief Adviser thanked the Saudi Crown Prince for the invitation to the event where, he said, he would actively consider joining.
The Chief Adviser also thanked the Saudi Crown Prince for accepting the invitation to visit Bangladesh on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh-Saudi Arabia diplomatic relations at a given date.
In previous years, the forum has been attended by several heads of state. Last year alone, it drew 8,500 participants, including leading global CEOs.
