Saudi Arabia Investment Minister Khalid al-Falih told the media that will develop 14,000 km of the railway across the nation and is additionally preparing a new investment law to manage the requirements of investors.

Falih told a mining forum in Riyadh that new rail will criss-cross the kingdom and add to the network they already have. He additionally told the media that his ministry was working on a new investment law that would manage the requirements of investors.

The law would be passed this year, hopefully, shortly, Falih said.
