This became clear after a meeting between Minister of Economy and Industry Nikola Stoyanov and Mohammed Al-Hakbani, CEO of "Tawal". The company is a subsidiary of the Saudi Telecom Company (STC). This would be the largest Saudi investment in Bulgaria totaling about 1.2 billion euros, the ministry announced.
