The Future Investment Initiative Institute - one of the largest economic forums in the world organized by Saudi Arabia - revealed that it will discuss the mechanisms of the birth of the new global economy after the exceptional circumstances caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020.

The Institute announced that it would host this month the Fourth Edition of FII to reimagine the global economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Held on Jan. 27-28 at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center (KAICC) in Riyadh, the conference will host speakers and audiences, who will join physically and virtually from FII satellites in New York, Paris, Beijing, and Mumbai.

“The 4th edition of FII will see the most innovative technologies to facilitate global conversations and to be inclusive at the benefit of all of humanity,” Richard Attias, CEO of the FII Institute, said.

“The FII Institute will act as a catalyst and a pioneer to allow interaction and exchange of disruptive ideas. There has never been a more important time to bring the greatest minds together to harness this opportunity to reimagine our world,” he added.

For his part, Yasser Al-Rumayyan, Chairman of the FII Board of Directors and Governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), said: “It is the most appropriate and important time for leaders, investors, and policymakers to meet in order to work together to revitalize the global economy.”

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed regret in a phone call with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani that Tehran's target in retaliation for US strikes was a military base in Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar's prime minister and foreign minister, said in a press conference on Tuesday.

Iran launched a limited missile attack Monday on a US military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites. The US was warned by Iran in advance, and there were no casualties.

Israel and Iran on Tuesday accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by President Donald Trump to end their 12-day war that roiled the Middle East, after Tehran launched the attack in Qatar.
