Governor of Musandam, Sayyid Ibrahim Said Al Busaidi, expressed his belief that the upcoming Royal tour of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to the Musandam Governorate will greatly contribute to the development efforts in the region.
According to Sayyid Ibrahim, this visit holds significant importance as it will provide an opportunity for His Majesty the Sultan to personally witness the progress of various economic and developmental projects in the governorate. The Sultan's keen interest in understanding the achievements and advancements in the spatial economy of the region further highlights the significance of this visit.
Sayyid Ibrahim also emphasized that the Royal visit will bring increased attention to the Governorate of Musandam, particularly in terms of promoting economic growth that directly benefits the society.
Overall, the visit of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik is expected to have a positive impact on the development march of the Musandam Governorate.
He explained that major projects currently underway include Dibba - Lima - Khasab road, the new Musandam Airport (which will be built in the Wilayat of Khasab) and the development of residential neighborhoods and city centres.
In the meantime, the logistics sector (by sea, land or air) will take centre stage in discussions, said Sayyid Ibrahim, noting that Khasab Port serves both the transportation sector and the fishing sector.
Sayyid Ibrahim said that, due to the fact that the geographical nature limits to space areas that can have tangible development, steps are underway to overcome this difficulty by establishing an industrial zone outside the port and integrating the services with it.
