Amr Al-Dabbagh, SAGIA's governor, recently met with the senior executives of over 10 US companies in three days as part of the new strategy. His meetings began with DuPont Corporation's chief operations officer and its top executives to present opportunities in the petrochemical and downstream petrochemical industries. "The governor explained SAGIA's investment strategy and addressed concerns as regards intellectual property laws and the applications in process, recognition and compliance of International Commercial Standards, transparency and accountability," a SAGIA statement said. During his whirlwind meetings in the United States, Al-Dabbagh held talks with government leaders, top executives of potential corporate investors, and international think tanks. He discussed recent developments in the Saudi economy and business opportunities in the strategic sectors of energy, transportation, and knowledge-based industries, Arab News reported. --MORE 1023 Local Time 0723 GMT
