More than 1,000 Saudi companies and investors are expected to take part in the economic conference due in Sharm el Sheikh in March, said Secretary General of the Egyptian-Saudi Businessmen Association Ahmed Darwish.
Darwish made the remark during a visit along with a high-level delegation from members of the Egyptian-Saudi Businessmen Association to the premises of the Saudi Embassy in Cairo to offer condolences over the death of Saudi King Abdallah ben Abdel Aziz, who passed away on Friday.
Saudi Arabia is committed to the will of the late king to support Egypt economically, he added.
