Saudi Arabia has welcomed a high-level delegation of 40 companies from Central Asia for an exclusive business-to-business meeting aimed at strengthening cross-border investment, trade cooperation, and strategic partnerships.

The event, organized by IDR Australia (a consulting firm with offices in Riyadh and Sydney) and UDI Group (an Asia-focused investment and business development firm), brought together influential Saudi business leaders, investors, and corporate executives to explore new avenues for collaboration.

The meeting facilitated high-level B2B discussions, investment matchmaking sessions, and industry-focused dialogues, enabling Saudi and Central Asian companies to explore mutually beneficial business opportunities. The delegation engaged in discussions on trade policies, investment frameworks, and business expansion strategies that align with Saudi Vision 2030 and the economic growth priorities of Central Asian nations.

Among the attendees were a number of key dignitaries, including the Ambassador and Former Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan (Ulukbek Maripov), the Ambassador of Tajikistan (Akram Karimi), and an executive of the Saudi Business Council for the Central Asian Region (Bader Albusaiyes).

The success of the meeting was made possible through the collaborative efforts of IDR Australia, UDI Group, and their strategic partners, Rochan Creativity and Eminence Investments.

“This meeting marks a significant step in deepening trade and investment relations between Saudi Arabia and Central Asia. By fostering direct business engagements, we are laying the groundwork for long-term economic cooperation and shared prosperity,” said Rabie Akkouche, CEO and Founder of IDR Australia.

The event took place against a backdrop of growing economic ties between Saudi Arabia and the Central Asian region, in particular in sectors such as trade, energy, infrastructure, mining, manufacturing, and financial services.
