The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry has signed a special agreement with the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the establishment of an Omani-Malta Business Council.
Tonio Casapinta, chairman of the Middle East Business Council, who signed the agreement on behalf of the Malta Chamber of Commerce, said this was a very important step for Malta as it underlined the importance of this region especially for Maltese entrepreneurs that wish to expand their business in this part of the Middle East.
Mr Casapinta said that while it was extremely important to set up such councils, these needed to be supplemented with a constant visibility for Malta in the region, with regular visits and events.
An Omani Chamber-led trade mission is expected to visit Malta in the coming months.
