Oman is planning to stage an exhibition of its products in Jeddah, which is aimed to provide a platform to eventually boost the country's exports to Saudi Arabia.

To achieve this, Oman will showcase its products and services at the fourth Omani Products Exhibition — Opex 2015 — scheduled to be held from May 18 to 21, at Jeddah Centre for Forums and Events, Omani media reported.

The organizing committee of Opex met recently with owners of companies and industrialists in Raysut Industrial Estate in the presence of Said bin Ali Al-Maashani, director general of Raysut Industrial Estate.

In line with the preparation, the companies were briefed on the participation process, the advantages and provided support that will be offered for the participating companies in the event.

The organizing committee, in cooperation with Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry, aims to invite Saudi businessmen and residents to hold business-to-business meetings with Omani investors during the event to discuss deals, offer further facilities, and meet the existing challenges.

Opex promotion events were held in Dubai, Doha and Riyadh by the committee comprising the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (PEIE), Public Authority for Investment Promotion and Export Development (ITHRAA), and Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI).
