They talked about strategies to advance the Olympic Games both domestically and internationally throughout the discussion, as well as collaboration between Saudi Arabia and the IOC. Additionally present were Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of the Public Investment Fund, Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal, the minister of sports, and Abdulaziz Baeshen, the chief executive officer and secretary-general of the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
