RIYADH: The Saudi Council of Chambers of Commerce will hold the first national forum for Saudi businesswomen. The event is set for October 4 and 5 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Riyadh, under the patronage of Princess Seetah Bint Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz. It is expected that a large number of businesswomen from diverse business sectors will participate. A press conference Sunday at the Council's headquarters in Riyadh will officially announce the forum and shed light on its key issues and objectives. The forum reflects the Council's view that Saudi businesswomen play important roles in the Kingdom's development process, and its determination to help them benefit from investment prospects under King Abdullah's leadership. The council has selected Aali Group as a partner from the private sector and Okaz Organization for Press and Publication as media sponsor.
