Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah will lay the cornerstone for a new industrial city Tuesday on the Red Sea coast and officially launch a series of multi-billion-dollar ventures.

 

The new city, to be called "Yanbu 2," is the twin of the existing Yanbu industrial city and will cover an area of 66 square kilometres, Royal Commission of Jubail and Yanbu chairman Prince Saud bin Abdullah bin Thanayan said Monday.
