A statement said “The King’s visit is aimed at closely monitoring the conditions of citizens in the province as well as understanding requirements for their development.” King Abdullah last visited Yanbu in July 2005, a month before he became King, and he approved the airport expansion plans at that time. He also laid the foundations for the second industrial city – Yanbu II, which is expected to bring in new projects worth SR115 billion.
