Preparations in full swing for the eighth GPCA conference
Manama : The upcoming Eighth Annual Conference of the Gulf Petrochemical and Chemical Association (GPCA) will enhance Bahrain’s reputation and excellence in hosting large forums and conferences, said a top GPIC official.
“There is no doubt that this event would enhance Bahrain’s reputation and excellence in hosting large forums and conferences,” said Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (GPIC) Chairman and National Oil and Gas Authority (NOGA) Secretary General Dr Ahmed Al Sharayan.
“The event would prove once again that Bahrain is well-experienced in hosting major conferences,” he said.
Applauding GPIC’s dedication in preparing for the event, Dr Al Sharayan said the event is of great importance to the fertiliser industry since heads of the region’s largest companies and government representatives would meet to exchange information and discuss issues related to global food security.
The event is being held under the patronage of Oil Minister Shaikh Mohammed bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, in co-operation with the GPIC and NOGA.
The Chairman said the petrochemical industry, especially the fertiliser industry, took off in the region in the mid-60s. “The $7 billion regional production accounts for about a quarter of the world’s total production and sales of more than 38 million tons annually.”
He said the industry is considered the basis for sustainable development and support to the national economy in GCC countries.
Dr Al Sharayan also praised the Oil Minister’s interest and follow-up to details of preparations and ensures the event’s success.
