A business delegation comprising 14 Omani companies will visit India beginning August 10 with a view to improving trade and investment links and export.

The delegation will be led by Salem Ben Nasser Al Ismaily, chairman of Ithraa, Oman’s investment and export promotion agency.

The delegation will host a business seminar as well as B2B meetings in New Delhi with Indian importers, agents and manufacturers.

It will also visit Mumbai, a city with considerable growth potential for Omani companies, a statement from Ithraa read.

Al Ismaily commented that India was one of the fastest growing economies in the world and that it presented many opportunities for Omani companies.

The 14 companies set to visit India are: Bright Sun Dates Production; Nizwa Food Industries; Sea Pride; Modern Diary Factory; Asia Food; Al-Bahja Group of Companies; Sohar Sulphur Fertilizer; Al-Felaij Group; Techno Plastic Industry; Poly Products; Al-Tuhami Group; Taghleef Industries; The Modern Stitch Enterprise; and Al Shamal Plastics.

As a follow-up to the delegation’s visit to New Delhi and Mumbai, Ithraa has already made plans to host an investment forum with Indian businesses in Muscat, in the middle of October.

The Oman – India Investment Forum aims to raise awareness of investment opportunities in Oman, the support available for Indian companies considering the sultanate, and provide an opportunity for business leaders from both nations to make important connections. - TradeArabia News Service
