A trade delegation of 23 companies from Northern Ireland visited the Kingdom recently. Noel Johnson, head of the Asia Trade Mission from Northern Ireland, said that the region is keen to build mutually beneficial business relationships in important global markets such as Saudi Arabia. Northern Ireland is now one of the most dynamic regions. Its economic growth is now being driven by locally elected administration which has created a strongly pro-business and stable environment that supports and encourages investment and export development. Iain Walker from the CDE Mining/Quarrying industry said that doing partnership with the Kingdom is very “sustainable”. He said their objective is to conduct market research.
