Muscat – The Minister of Economic Development Federica Guidi, upon completing her mission to Vietnam and Indonesia with President Sergio Mattarella, met today in Muscat, capital of Oman, the Minister of Trade and Industry Al Sinaidy. “We gave impetus for new public-private partnerships between our countries, including higher education and cooperation programs dedicated to small and medium enterprises,” commented Guidi after the meeting. “We are very pleased that our mission in Oman paid off and opened up exciting opportunities for our companies operating in this country, which can boast great potential for growth.” During the meeting, the two Ministers agreed to organize soon a new occasion for discussion to explore opportunities for collaboration in areas such as packaging, design, health, tourism, meat processing sectors as well as infrastructure. Petrochemicals and railways are the sectors in which Italian groups are competing for new projects: for example with the Italferr design of the Omani railway network (€12-14 billion in planned investment).
