Dr Ahmed bin Mohammed al Futaisi, Minister of Transport and Communications, spoke about the Omani logistics sector’s “Global Vision”, in the presence of a number of South Carolina officials, businessmen, academics and researchers.
The symposium included three sessions, during which fifteen papers were presented by speakers from the Sultanate and the United States. They discussed aspects of the importance of the tourism and ports sectors in the development of the national economy.
