GCC to organize 1st industrial fair in morocco

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) will organize its first fair of industrial products on July 21-24 in Casablanca, assistant director of the Kuwaiti Trade and Industry Chamber, Hamad El Omar, announced Tuesday.

"Morocco was chosen to host this event because of its geographical position, infrastructures and qualification of its human resources," El Omar told a press conference held in Kuwait, underlining that Morocco is a promising country thanks to its environment that encourages investment.

This event aims to give heart to the commercialization of Gulf states' products in Morocco and neighboring countries, said the chairman of fairs' section at the Kuwaiti Trade and Industry Chamber.

El Meligi, Chief Executive Officer of the fairs' organization company "Itlala," said the organizers expect this fair to attract up to 13,000 visitors, including 3,000 professionals.

Kuwait is the fourth leg of this fair's promotion campaign in Gulf states after Bahrain, UAE and Oman, he added.
