London (CNN Business)Three more major news organizations have pulled out of a business conference in Saudi Arabia as pressure mounts on the kingdom to explain the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
CNN, CNBC and the Financial Times said Friday that they would no longer participate in the Saudi Future Investment Initiative conference, known as “Davos in the desert.”
Hosted by Mohammed bin Salman, the event is designed to showcase the Saudi crown prince’s Vision 2030 plan to break the country’s dependence on oil.
