He noted the integrated industrial potential of the member states, stressing the importance of unifying efforts in confronting global challenges and achieving regional leadership in supply chains and advanced manufacturing.

Al Malki also highlighted two regional industrial ventures that exemplify the spirit of collaboration under the Integrated Industrial Partnership for Sustainable Economic Development. The first is a strategic partnership between Medgulf Construction Company of Qatar and the UAE's Future Pipe Industries, aimed at supplying 28,000 meters of fiberglass pipes for a regional infrastructure project slated for completion in January 2026. The second initiative is a long-term agreement between Qatar Steel and Bahrain Steel, valued at $1.266 billion, to deliver five million metric tons of raw materials over a five-year period, reinforcing the integration of supply chains and ensuring continuity in industrial production across the region. Furthermore, he shed light on the Qatar National Manufacturing Strategy 2024-2030, which seeks to build an industrial future anchored in a resilient and diversified base that contributes to the national objective of achieving a 4 percent annual GDP growth through 2030. The strategy aspires to position the State of Qatar among the world's top 40 countries on the Competitive Industrial Performance Index.
