Saudi sheikh's next visit to Estonia may take place in early summer

The next visit to Estonia of Sheikh Saied Nasser Al-Badawi who was here at the second half of February at the head of a high-level Saudi business delegation can be expected in early summer and perhaps with an even bigger delegation, Enterprise Estonia said.

The head of new markets at Enterprise Estonia's globalization division, Meelis Kuusberg, told BNS that Sheikh Saied Nasser Al-Badawi is one of the owners of Saudi Arabia's Badawi Group which has interests in construction and development and production of building materials.

Operations of Badawi Group stretch from Russia to Kyrgyzstan and from Yemen to Saudi Arabia, Kuusberg said. "Hopefully a couple of Estonian businesses too will soon see cooperation sprout to develop Saudi sales channels."

Enterprise Estonia at whose invitation the Saudi sheikh visited this country "sought to give an integrated picture of Estonia's advantages which could provide points of contact between the two countries," Kuusberg said.
