RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's economic transformation plan is important for the world, the chief executive of the Russian sovereign wealth fund Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) said on Tuesday.
Kirill Dmitriev, who runs the $10 billion Russian fund, told an investment conference in Riyadh that Saudi Arabia is an important partner and that partnership among sovereign wealth funds is a "great opportunity".
Saudi Arabia has embarked on a series of economic reforms aimed at diversifying the kingdom's economy from oil dependence.
