An Omani delegation participating in the 29th session of the Arab Industrial Development, Standardization, and Mining Organization (AIDSMO) has visited the Al-Sayeh Industrial Complex in Libya to explore opportunities for industrial cooperation, investment, and bilateral trade.
Eng. Ghalib bin Saeed Al Maamari, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion for Trade and Industry, led the Oman delegation. The visit took place in the presence of officials from Libya’s Ministry of Industry and Minerals.
During the visit, representatives from both sides discussed mechanisms to strengthen joint industrial investments and expand economic cooperation across key sectors.
The discussions also focused on the possibility of positioning the Libyan market as a strategic gateway for Omani exports to North African countries.
The two sides assess ways to leverage Oman’s strategic geographic location, international ports, and advanced logistics infrastructure to facilitate the movement of jointly produced goods to Asian and global markets.
They also reviewed opportunities to establish sustainable industrial partnerships to support technology transfer, developing manufacturing capabilities and increasing bilateral trade.
Officials highlighted the importance of cooperation in promoting value-added industries and creating an environment that encourages investment and long-term industrial development.
The discussions also covered initiatives to enhance the competitiveness of products manufactured through joint ventures and improve access to regional and international markets.
At the Al-Sayeh Industrial Complex, part of the Al-Sahl Holding Group, the delegation received an overview of the facility’s operations, production capacity, and investment potential.
The 29th session of the Arab Industrial Development, Standardization, and Mining Organization brings together member states to strengthen cooperation in industrial development, standardization, and mining across the Arab region.
The Oman Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion stated that the visit reflects the Sultanate’s continued efforts to deepen economic and industrial ties with Arab countries, attract quality foreign investments, and expand the presence of Omani products in promising regional markets.
The initiative also aligns with Oman’s broader strategy to diversify its economy, strengthen industrial partnerships, and enhance trade connectivity with regional and international markets through collaboration and investment-led growth.
