Saudi King, Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is set to visit Maldives soon.

“Sun” has been informed that King Salman’s trip to Maldives is part official and part non-official.

An advanced team of Saudi officials have already arrived in Maldives, but it is uncertain eactly when King Salman will be arriving.

King Salman was invited to Maldives by President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom during his visit to Saudi Arabia in October, 2016.

During the function to celebrate opening a harbor in F. Magoodhoo last January, President Yameen announced that the Saudi government had expressed interest in running a huge business project in F. Atoll.

He described the business venture as a “town ship” of a variety of businesses, and said such a venture existed in just two or three places in the world.

King Salman visited Maldives in 2014 when he had been the Crown Prince.
