Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman touched down in Beijing Thursday to begin the last leg of his Asia tour, designed to build relations and clinch deals as the kingdom faces a diplomatic chill in the West.
Bin Salman had already visited India and Pakistan during his week-long trip, announcing new investments in energy and infrastructure, before arriving in China -- Saudi Arabia's biggest trading partner.
The Saudi prince is due to meet with Chinese Vice Premier Han Zheng on Friday morning, before sitting down with President Xi Jinping in the afternoon.
