Jeddah Gov. Prince Mishaal bin Majed warned against the dangers posed by the illegal practice of cover-up business to the country’s economy while opening the Jeddah Commercial Forum on behalf of Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal last night.

“Cover-up business is a serious issue that threatens the economy and social life in the country. We must take a tough stand against it to preserve our resources,” the prince said.

Eleven experts will present papers in the forum on issues such as cover-up business and on ways to settle trade disputes in the sessions that will end on Monday.
