The Saudi economy, since the launch of Vision 2030, has witnessed a transformation that led to opening new sectors and offering promising opportunities for the business sector, Minister of Commerce Majid Alkassabi told Saudi-Finnish Business Forum.
He highlighted the need to strengthen economic partnership and diversify bilateral trade between Saudi Arabia and Finland, Saudi Press Agency reported.
