In the wake of the murder of journalist Yamal Khashoggi, the Commissions for Economic Affairs and Taxation (CAB-N) have decided to suspend deliberations on the agreement with Saudi Arabia until the Federal Council has thoroughly reviewed Switzerland's relations with Saudi Arabia.
The Federal Council is expected to present its new strategy towards Saudi Arabia in 2019.
