摘要

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has said that discussions are underway to sell a 1pc stake in state-controlled Saudi Aramco to a large foreign investor. 'There is currently discussion about an acquisition of 1pc [of Aramco] by a leading company in the world, and this will be a very important deal that will enhance Aramco’s sales in the particular country in which that company is present,' the crown prince said in a televised interview. 'I cannot mention its name, but it is a huge country, and if it acquires 1pc [of Aramco] that will enhance Aramco’s industries as well as demand on Aramco’s products in that country and also the company itself.'
