RIYADH- Saudi Arabia will build 14,000 km of railway across country, its investment minister Khalid al-Falih said on Wednesday.

"New rail that will criss cross the kingdom and add to the network we already have," Falih told a mining forum in Riyadh.

He also said his ministry was working on a new investment law that is going to address the needs of both domestic and international investors.
