Trade Minister Inkyo Cheong and Oman’s Public Authority for Special Economic Zones and Free Zones Chairman Ali Masoud Al Sunaidy met in Seoul to discuss the committee’s revival. Oman’s focus on industrial diversification and renewable energy investment was highlighted as a key catalyst for renewed cooperation.

Both nations are optimistic about the potential for enhanced economic cooperation and believe that the committee will play a pivotal role in achieving shared economic goals.
