OCCI opens trade office in Washington to boost bilateral business ties
The Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) inaugurated the Oman Trade Office in the United States (OTOUS) during a ceremony held at the Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center in Washington, D.C.
The event was held under the patronage of Talal bin Sulaiman al Rahbi, Ambassador of the Sultanate of Oman to the United States, and attended by Sheikh Saud bin Ahmad al Nahari, OCCI Board Member and Head of the Chamber's delegation, along with several OCCI officials and representatives from both the Omani and American public and private sectors.
The establishment of OTOUS marks a significant step towards strengthening economic and trade relations between Oman and the U.S. The office aims to support the export of Omani products to the American market, promote the import of high-quality U.S. goods, attract American investments to Oman, and facilitate the expansion of Omani businesses into the U.S.
OTOUS will also play a vital role in coordinating trade delegations, organising business meetings, and offering guidance on maximizing the benefits of the Oman-U.S. Free Trade Agreement.
In addition, the office will provide economic reports to support decision-making in export development and mutual investments.
