KUWAIT, Feb 28 (KUNA) -- Chairman of Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI), Dhofar governorate Abdullah Al-Rawas has stressed the importance of boosting cooperation ties with Kuwait in the field of joint development programs.
Al-Rawas made his remarks to KUNA Tuesday on the sidelines of his visit to the country, adding that his visit is part of completing the joint cooperation program between OCCI and the Kuwaiti-based Arab Planning Institute (API), which was signed between the two sides in September 2014.
He called for strengthening the aspects of cooperation and building a long-lasting strategic relation between OCCI and API in the field of human resources training and development, in addition to taking advantage of the Kuwaiti institute's services in capability-building.
API has organized a number of training courses and workshops for OCCI in the past period, in addition to offering courses on investment studies, the Omani official noted.
He also pointed out the Omani chamber's ambition for enhancing its human resources, increasing their efficiencies, and boosting their competitive abilities in a way that contributes to creating occupational stability for the Omani citizen.
Furthermore, API has long experiences and expertise in the field of human resources training, development, and institutional support, making it an ideal partner for attaining OCCI's vision, Al-Rawas added.
He indicated that such a vision is in line with API's main goals, including enhancing Arab workers' level and quality in public and private sectors through providing them with various training courses.
Meanwhile, Al-Rawas commended Kuwait's role in hosting joint Arab institutes, including API, and keenness on bolstering Arab-Arab ties under the wise leadership of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. (end)
