Minister for Trade Inkyo Cheong met Chairman of the Oman Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) Ali Masoud Al Sunaidy on April 29 in Seoul to discuss the resumption of the two countries’ bilateral Economic Cooperation Committee.

 

The sixth Korea-Oman Economic Cooperation Committee meeting had originally been slated for 2019 in Muscat, Oman, but was put on pause by the pandemic outbreak.

 

The resumption discussion was proposed by Chairman Al Sunaidy, noting Oman’s push for industrial diversification and focused investment on new renewable energy areas. Trade Minister Cheong replied that he looks forward to discussing measures for deepening the two countries’ investment, joint project discovery, and other economic collaborations through the Economic Cooperation Committee in the near future.
