Saudi Arabia's powerful crown prince has called the killing of Jamal Khashoggi a "heinous crime that cannot be justified."
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman separately said that the killing of the Washington Post columnist will not "drive a wedge" between the kingdom and Turkey.
His comments Wednesday came at the Future Investment Initiative. This year's summit, however, has been overshadowed by the killing October 2 of Khashoggi.
Turkish officials say a 15-man Saudi team killed the writer at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. A member of Prince Mohammed's entourage was allegedly at the consulate at the time.
International business leaders have pulled out from attending the summit over the killing.
