MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia and Saudi Arabia will sign joint investment agreements worth more than $3 billion during a visit to Moscow by Saudi Arabia's King Salman, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak was quoted as saying on Wednesday.

 

The deals will include a $1.1 billion agreement for Russian petrochemical firm Sibur to build a plant in Saudi Arabia, the energy ministry cited Novak as saying in an interview with the Financial Times newspaper.

 

A joint Russian and Saudi fund will invest $150 million in Russian private oilfield services firm Eurasia Drilling Company Limited, the ministry quoted Novak as saying.

In 2015 nearly US$28 billion worth of petrochemicals plants come online with Dow Chemical receiving US$20 billion.

A US$1.1 billion deal with Russia looks more like a diplomatic concession, perhaps in connection with a backdoor political deal between S.A. and Russia on the future of Syria's government.
