Al-Khatrawi informed the governor that the program of the board for the next phase would focus on boosting investments in Madinah by creating the atmosphere conducive to this. He added that the board would also carefully study all obstacles investors were facing with a view to removing them as well as explore the new investment opportunities.
He said the chamber would make efforts to contribute to transform the society and the economy of the holy city into a knowledge economy.
Al-Khatrawi also said the chamber would establish a special forum for investment and knowledge economy and would intensify its attendance of local and international events.
The chairman said the board of directors would hold a series of meetings with businessmen and traders to inform them about its plans and programs and would give priority to the construction of a new headquarters for the chamber within the boundaries of the knowledge city.
Meanwhile, Fareed Al-Maimani has been elected head of the industrial committee of the chamber and Ayman Maatouq Samaran as his deputy.
