Madinah 3 wastewater plant kicks off commercial operations
Saudi Water Partnership Company (SWPC) has announced that its SAR964 million ($257 million) utility project - Madinah 3 Wastewater plant - has begun commercial operations.
The key facility boasts a 200,000 cu m/day capacity which is expandable to 375,000 cu m/day in emergency situations.
The SAR964 million ($257 million) project was developed by a consortium led by Spanish infrastructure major Acciona with prominent local firms - International Water Distribution Company (Tawzea) and Tamasuk as partners.
SWPC said the project has been implemented on a build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) model.
As per the purchase deal with the consortium, Acciona will be responsible for the facility's development, design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance over a 25-year period from the date of commercial operations.
A state-of-the-art facility, the Madinah plant had treated more than 5 million cu m of wastewater during Ramadan and converted into water suitable for industrial and agricultural use, thus contributing to reducing the environmental impact and improving the quality of life for its residents, said a statement from SWPC.

Secrets of success for international brands in the Middle East
The Middle East has become a hot bed for businesses looking to expand into new markets and tap into a consumer set open to new brands and experiences. A young and vibrant population, riding a wave of positivity, alongside governments with money and intent to invest in building infrastructure and opportunities makes it an exciting market to move into. But as global brands turn their attention to this region they must do so with an awareness of cultural nuances. Their approach to marketing and brand building cannot be a carbon copy of other territories – brands must adapt their messaging, trajectory and ambition. Putting customers at the centre of activity is a golden rule for brands no matter where they operate. And so, applying that tenet to the Middle East means respecting local values and attitudes – and demonstrating that through the brand's storytelling. Beyond advertising There are lessons to be learned from some of the biggest global brands that have successfully moved into the region. Take Nike for example – the global sportswear brand has not only featured athletes from the region in its advertising but also considered them in its product line. Nike's marketing campaigns in the region often feature local athletes and stories, building aspirational narratives that people can easily connect with. But it went one step further with the launch of the Nike Pro Hijab in 2017, catering to Muslim female athletes. This was a major milestone as it anchored the brand with an inclusion message that resonated deeply across the region. It demonstrated a genuine understanding and respect for the local culture and empowered women within it. IKEA has similarly taken a thorough approach to adapting for the local market. The furniture brand can teach us all some things about how to craft a 'glocal' strategy. In particular, cultural sensitivity is a must. While its core product range is consistent across the globe, IKEA still makes subtle but significant adjustments to fulfill local needs. These include larger furniture pieces and tailored options to accommodate bigger living spaces and family gatherings. It also makes sure that the selection of materials can accommodate the region's hot and dry climate. And in a similar way to many luxury brands, IKEA creates specific collections and campaigns for Ramadan and Eid. Adapting products and services to the local customer base and using local talent in advertising are important but if this is as far as it goes the risk is that cultural sensibility is a veneer rather than a strategy. The best practice adopted by some brands it to establish significant bases in the region and become local employers. Pepsi has a long history of success in the Middle East, with high market penetration. This is due to strong local investments in facilities, employing thousands of locals and sourcing within the region. PepsiCo is perceived as a global brand that wants more than just to sell products; it wants to be an integral part of the local economy and therefore, the local community. It has also invested in local R&D centres to tailor its product portfolio to local consumer preferences. Mistakes – some brands have made a few Some brands have come unstuck because they have expanded into the region thinking like westerners. Campaigns must appeal to an audience which admires global brands but is also fiercely proud of its local heritage, culture and values. Public sentiment can quickly shift and with it, loyalty. So, any brand serious about making its mark must monitor public sentiment. Social media is a useful tool here. And interestingly, one of the most successful brands in the Middle East – TikTok – is tapping its largest audience, the youth. TikTok has made huge efforts to connect with local influencers. The platform understood the rise of local trends and the importance of fostering local communities. The introduction of TikTok Shops has been a game-changer, especially in the Gulf's booming e-commerce market. TikTok has shown that it cares and nurtures the creative community in the Gulf. It ran the Creator Hub programme to discover and support new creators. Course correction for brands Entering new regions is not easy and even the most successful of brands can make missteps. When that happens, change. Course correction is not an admission of failure; it's a sign of responsiveness and strategic depth. Coming into the region with an open mindset will go a long way. When brands reposition to better reflect local aspirations, values or lifestyles they are more likely to be welcomed. Whether introducing modest fashion lines, halal food certification or Arabic language packaging, modifying products will help make global brands feel part of the region. Global brands need to be on the ground, employing local people and working with local partners and influencers – and then they will find the right tone of voice and approach. In a region as nuanced as the Middle East, the most successful global brands are those that listen, learn and evolve. By Nancy Villanueva, CEO, Iberia and Middle East, Interbrand

UK backs Morocco's Western Sahara autonomy plan in shift likely to anger Algeria
Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy has declared the UK's support for Morocco's 2007 autonomy proposal for Western Sahara, marking a significant diplomatic shift likely to deepen tensions with Algeria. During a visit to Rabat on Sunday, Lammy described the proposal as 'the most credible, viable and pragmatic basis' for resolving the decades-long dispute over the former Spanish colony, which has been at the heart of a protracted standoff between Morocco and the Algeria-backed Polisario Front. 'The UK will continue to act bilaterally, including economically, regionally and internationally in line with this position to support the resolution of the conflict,' Lammy said at a press conference alongside Morocco's Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita. This position aligns Britain with France and the United States — the three Western permanent members of the UN Security Council — in backing Morocco's proposal, which offers limited autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty rather than full independence for the region. Bourita welcomed the UK's endorsement, calling it a 'historic' development and part of a broader diplomatic push to resolve the conflict. He noted that British investment in the disputed territory was under consideration. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters The ministers also signed cooperation agreements covering healthcare, innovation, port infrastructure, water management and procurement. Lammy said the deals would ensure British firms benefit from Morocco's infrastructure drive as the country prepares to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal. Contested territory Western Sahara, a phosphate-rich territory with valuable fishing waters, remains on the United Nations list of non-self-governing territories. Morocco controls about 80 percent of the land, while the rest is held by the Polisario Front, which seeks an independent Sahrawi state. Western Sahara: France backs Morocco's claim of sovereignty and its autonomy plan Read More » The conflict began in 1975 after Spain withdrew from the territory. A war between Moroccan forces and the Polisario Front ended in 1991 with a UN-brokered ceasefire that promised a referendum on self-determination — a vote that has never taken place. Since 2020, fighting has resumed, with artillery and drone strikes reported on both sides of a fortified sand wall — known as the berm — erected by Morocco. Human rights groups have repeatedly raised concerns about Morocco's crackdown on pro-independence Sahrawis in areas it controls. Algeria, a staunch supporter of Sahrawi independence, cut diplomatic ties with Morocco in 2021. It hosts the Polisario leadership and around 176,000 Sahrawi refugees in camps near Tindouf. Algiers has sharply criticised Western support for Morocco's plan. After France endorsed the autonomy initiative last year, Algerian officials accused Paris of backing 'a colonial fait accompli' and undermining UN efforts to decolonise the region.
