In a significant meeting, DP World welcomed a top delegation from the Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones (OPAZ) to assess developments at the Al Rawdah Special Economic Zone.
The Omani delegation, led by Qais bin Mohammed Al Yousef, met with Essa Kazim and Group Chief Executive Officer Yuvraj Narayan, alongside other senior leaders from DP World GCC, including CEO and Managing Director Ahmed Yousef Al-Hassan.
Initially held in Dubai, the discussions included a site visit to the Al Rawdah Special Economic Zone located in Mahdah, Al Buraimi Governorate. The attendees reviewed current milestones and the ongoing infrastructure development of the economic zone.
During the meeting, Essa Kazim emphasized the critical role of the Al Rawdah Special Economic Zone in fostering investment, promoting industrial growth, and bolstering regional supply chains. He stressed that the ongoing collaboration between DP World and OPAZ underscores the strong bilateral relationship between the UAE and Oman, as they pursue the establishment of a world-class economic zone.
Strategically positioned near the UAE-Oman border, the Al Rawdah Special Economic Zone will boast direct connections to Sohar Port and Jebel Ali Port—significant logistics and trade hubs in the region.
The project is anticipated to draw investments across multiple sectors, including logistics, warehousing, light manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and more.
Furthermore, the economic zone aims to align with both the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and Oman Vision 2040, reinforcing trade relations and economic collaboration between the two nations.
