The National Industrial Development and Logistics Services Program (NDLP) is seeking to work with 40 Saudi government agencies to achieve qualitative industries represented in partial and total manufacturing and the development of the supply chain in machinery, medical equipment, cars, military industries and renewable energy.
The NDLP aims to transform the Kingdom into a leading industrial power and a global logistics platform by maximizing the value generated from the mining and energy sectors and focusing on the local content and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, to contribute to expanding and diversifying the economic impact of the targeted sectors.

Eng. Suleiman Al-Mazrouh, CEO of the NDLP, stressed his confidence in achieving the program’s objectives in light of the great integration between promising growth sectors and executive bodies, in addition to the availability of national competencies.

During a recent meeting of the Industrial Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Riyadh, Al-Mazrouh said that achieving the objectives of the program would contribute to transforming the Kingdom into a leading industrial power and a global logistics platform.

For his part, Abdullah Al-Khorayef, member of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Industrial Committee, explained that the program seeks to create an advanced and capable industrial society that achieves many of the aspirations of the business sector and opens the door for the development of industrial human capital.

The meeting featured a presentation of the most important goals of the NDLP and its upcoming strategy, and saw extensive discussions between committee members and program officials over the work plan and aspects of cooperation with industrialists.

It also reviewed the Daleel platform, which is a comprehensive window for presenting important information to the beneficiaries.

Riyadh and Tokyo to Launch Coordination Framework to Boost Cooperation

Saudi Arabia and Japan are close to unveiling a higher partnership council that will be headed by the countries’ leaderships in line with efforts to build a partnership that bolsters the technical transformation and joint research in clean energy, communications and other areas, revealed Saudi Ambassador to Japan Dr. Ghazi Binzagr.

He told Asharq Al-Awsat that the two countries will soon open a new chapter in their sophisticated strategic partnership.

The new council will be chaired by Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to push forward the Saudi-Japan Vision 2030, he added.

The council will elevate cooperation between the countries and pave the way for broader dialogue and consultations in various fields to bolster political, defense, economic, cultural and sports cooperation, he explained.

The two parties will work on critical technological partnerships that will focus on assessing and developing technologies to benefit from them, Binzagr said. They will also focus on the economy these technologies can create and in turn, the new jobs they will generate.

These jobs can be inside Saudi Arabia or abroad and provide employers with the opportunity to develop the sectors they are specialized in, he added.

Binzagr said Saudi Arabia and Japan will mark 70s years of relations in 2025, coinciding with the launch of Expo 2025 in Osaka in which the Kingdom will have a major presence.

Relations have been based on energy security and trade exchange with Japan’s need for oil. Now, according to Saudi Vision 2030, they can be based on renewable energy and the post-oil phase, remarked the ambassador.

Several opportunities are available in both countries in the cultural, sports and technical fields, he noted.

Both sides agree that improving clean energy and a sustainable environment cannot take place at the expense of a strong economy or quality of life, but through partnership between their countries to influence the global economy, he explained.

"For the next phase, we are keen on consolidating the concept of sustainable partnerships between the two countries in various fields so that this partnership can last for generations,” Binzagr stressed.

“I believe these old partnerships will last for decades and centuries to come,” he remarked.

Moreover, he noted that the oil sector was the cornerstone of the partnership and it will now shift to petrochemicals and the development of the petrochemical industry.
