Dubai Chambers has stepped up efforts to reinforce trade links with Oman following a high-level delegation visit to Sohar aimed at strengthening supply chain resilience and expanding economic cooperation.
The delegation, led by Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, met with representatives from the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the North Al Batinah Governorate to explore new avenues for collaboration between the business communities of Dubai and Sohar.
Discussions centred on enhancing bilateral trade flows, identifying high-value investment opportunities and deepening engagement across priority sectors. Both sides emphasised the importance of building stronger commercial partnerships to support sustained growth in cross-border trade.
As part of the visit, the delegation toured key industrial and logistics hubs, including SOHAR Port and Freezone and Sohar Industrial City. These engagements provided a platform to examine ways to streamline the movement of goods, improve supply chain efficiency and strengthen logistical integration between the two markets.
Participants highlighted the strategic role of infrastructure connectivity in supporting regional trade, particularly as businesses seek more resilient and flexible supply chains in response to evolving global conditions.
Dubai Chambers noted that closer coordination with Omani partners is expected to unlock new commercial opportunities, while enhancing the overall competitiveness of businesses operating in both markets.
Lootah reiterated the organisation’s commitment to fostering stronger economic ties, pointing to the importance of seamless logistics networks and coordinated trade frameworks in enabling long-term growth. He added that such initiatives are key to reinforcing the resilience of bilateral trade relations and supporting shared development objectives.
The visit reflects ongoing efforts by both sides to deepen economic integration and position Dubai and Sohar as complementary hubs within the wider GCC trade ecosystem.
