The meeting will include a presentation of the strategy, followed by a discussion of the previous suggestions and remarks of specialised country representatives and experts. This meeting comes after a series of meetings that had previously discussed three stages of the strategy preparation project.
The objectives of the strategy are: offering an accurate diagnosis of the GCC non-oil industrial exports performance and these industries’ ecosystem and challenges, means to boost the growth of these exports during a specific period of time, how to benefit from global trade rules to support these exports and how to learn from international success stories in boosting industrial exports. The strategy also allows for benefiting from GCC integration to promote the growth of these exports, boost trade between GCC countries and use the negotiation power of the GCC bloc to increase the accessibility of Gulf non-oil industrial exports to the markets of key partners throughout the globe.
