Some 17 Japanese experts in the field of power supply and water treatment, along with scores of businessmen and water technology investors held talks with JCCI Secretary-General Mustafa Kamal Sabri about the latest Japanese water technology.
Ahead of the panel discussion, Sabri, in his welcome speech, noted that “there has been a huge mutual effort between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Japan in many different industrial fields including the water technology.” “An Arabic-Japanese forum will also discuss latest industrial technology conference to be held in Tokyo in the upcoming days where the JCCI will take part,” Sabri added. Sabri stressed that this round-table discussion aims at reinforcing the collaboration between the two states where the Kingdom will benefit a lot from the previous Japanese experience in water treatment and seawater desalination. The meeting will hopefully lead to establishing the Japanese Water Office in the Middle East with Jeddah as its head office. He also said that the water industry in the region has become a major sector especially in the field of having huge investments of water treatment and purifying projects of the “Musk Lake” at eastern Jeddah. The discussion centered around five key issues including the latest technologies in water treatment, financing the relevant water projects, water desalination, sewage water treatment, recycling, and finally environmental related issued. Michitaka Ohta chief of the Japanese water delegation said that there are many assorted modern methods of treating and reusing of waste waters which will compensate the water shortage that Jeddah people have been facing for a long time. “By purifying of waste water resources by the most modern technologies in addition to desalination of seawater, the water crisis in Jeddah could be solved one day,” he asserted.
