Saudi Arabia plans to build an oil refinery and a petrochemicals plant in South Africa as part of $10-billion of investments in the country, Saudi Energy Minister Khalid Al-Falih said on Friday.
In comments following a meeting with South Africa's energy minister Jeff Radebe in Pretoria, Al-Falih said Saudi oil would be used in the planned refinery.
Saudi Arabia was also interested in using South Africa's oil storage facilities, he said.
