Organizers say the event underscores Saudi Arabia\u2019s expanding financial and diplomatic presence in South Florida.<\/p>\n \u201cMiami is where the world comes to meet the future,\u201d Miami Mayor Francis Suarez<\/a>, who is president of the American Business Forum board and helped bring the event to the Magic City, said in a press release announcing the partnership. \u201cWe\u2019re honored to welcome the leaders and our partner PIF, who are shaping the next era of leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n Over the last few years, Suarez<\/a> has worked closely with Saudi Arabia <\/a>to help expand the Kingdom\u2019s global investment efforts to reshape its reputation for violating human rights. He has been spotted thousands of miles away from Miami, visiting the desert nation<\/a>. For the third consecutive year, Suarez spoke at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute Priority conference in Miami Beach in February, where he announced the establishment of the Kingdom\u2019s new investment office in Miami.<\/p>\n At the conference, Saudi Arabia\u2019s Minister of Investment H.E. Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al Falih thanked Suarez for believing in the Kingdom and its \u201cequity story.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe mayor has been coming for a number of years,\u201d Al-Falih said. \u201cI met him for the first time in Jeddah, and then we went to Riyadh. He met his royal highness, and he\u2019s been a regular visitor.\u201d<\/p>\n With this latest partnership, the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S., H.R.H. Reema Bandar Al-Saud, and the PIF\u2019s Head of Global Capital Finance, Investment Strategy, and Economic Insights, Fahad Al-Saif, join a list of speakers that includes President Trump, Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Prize Winner Mar\u00eda Corina Machado, and Argentinian President Javier Milei. Actor Will Smith is seemingly no longer listed as a speaker.<\/p>\n \u201cThis will be one of the most consequential gatherings of our time, and we\u2019re thrilled that extraordinary figures in sports, business, politics, and international affairs will be joining us, as well as our partner PIF,\u201d Ignacio Gonzalez, founder of America Business Forum, said in the press release.<\/p>\n Here is the full list of speakers set to speak at the business conference this week:<\/p>\n President\u00a0Donald Trump
