Jazan’s rich endowment of mineral and agricultural resources makes it ideal for the region to prosper and thrive into a major economic city in the Kingdom, says Khalid A. Al-Falih, president and CEO of Saudi Aramco.

Jazan Economic City will become a key contributor to Saudi Arabia’s economy as current infrastructure and projects development will provide a solid base for further investments in heavy and secondary industries, petrochemicals, mining and conversion industries, he said at the Jazan Economic Forum (JEF).

The forum was attended by over 500 Saudi Arabian and foreign dignitaries and business leaders, and was showcasing investment opportunities at the Jazan Economic City (JEC) project.
