His Highness Sayyid Asaad bin Tareq al Said, Representative of His Majesty the Sultan, officially opened the much-awaited two-day Investment Opportunities Forum — Railway Project, in the presence of Dr Ahmed bin Mohammed al Futaisi, Minister of Transport and Communications, at the Al Bustan Palace Hotel yesterday. In his opening speech, Dr Al Futaisi said: “This great national project aims to promote economic and social benefits. There is no doubt that today’s transport system represents the vital nerve of any modern economy and that the development and integration of this system, as well as emphasising the availability of alternatives and enhancing competitive opportunities, is a must if we want to reserve for ourselves a place at the forefront."
