Past Events

On the occasion of the visit of a Saudi Business Delegation to Belgium, the Arab-Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the Council of Saudi Chambers, was delighted to organize a site visit to SABIC, followed by a meeting to VOKA – Limburg Chamber of Commerce. The delegation was headed by Sheikh Hassan Isam Al Kabbani, Honorary Consul of Belgium in Saudi Arabia.

The first visit was the occasion for the Delegation to learn more on the activities of SABIC in Europe. Indeed, Mr. Marc COUN, Site Manager Genk, presented the various sites of production and the efficient safety policy of SABIC.

To conclude this interesting morning, the delegation took part to a plant tour and discovered the whole chain of production, which has undergone major improvement lately, and is now a remarkable example of automated production.

The Delegation then headed to Hasselt to meet Mrs. Cathérine DREESEN, Director International Trade and Innovation at VOKA Limburg CCI.

After a lunch-break, the delegation was keen to get to know more on the province of Limburg thanks to the intervention of Mr. Aleksandr NATANELOV, Business Development Manager.

The presentations of Mr. Basem ALSALLOM, Deputy Governor at SAGIA (Saudi Arabia General Investment) and Mr. Ziad AL SUBBALY, Marketing specialist for the Saudi Export Program, were deeply appreciated and led to a constructive and enlightening discussion.

To bring this meeting to an end, each member of the delegation enjoyed a networking coffee in Limburg style.
