A delegation from the commission will include several
officials headed by Alaa Abdullah Nassif, the authority’s general manager of
strategic planning and investment development.
Nassif said the participation of the Royal Commission aims
to showcase its pioneering experience in the construction and management of
industrial cities, in addition to promoting Jubail and Yanbu as attractive and
distinctive investment areas.
He also mentioned the role of the commission in encouraging
the private sector to participate in the development of Jubail and Yanbu and
develop a solid industrial sector providing technical training and rehabilitation
programs for local talent and developing plans that meet industrial
requirements in the short and long term.
He said this would certainly pave the way for further
industrial interaction between the GCC and the rest of the world.
Nassif pointed out that the conference, which begins on
Sunday, would discuss important industrial-related strategies in GCC countries,
in addition to ways of planning sustainable downstream industries, exhibiting
global investment opportunities in petrochemicals and methods of confronting
the challenges facing the Gulf petrochemical industry.
Nassif said that during conference activities, numerous work
papers and experiences in petrochemical industries and their role in the growth
of universal investments would be discussed.
It is expected that the conference will witness the
participation of more than 300 industries and 24 countries specialized in the
petrochemicals field.
