Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel, chief job creator at Bab Rizq Jameel (BRJ), was honored during the opening ceremony of the 29th session of the GCC Ministers of Labor.
It was in recognition to BRJ’s contributions in the area of job creation.
BRJ created more than 230,000 job opportunities in Saudi Arabia and more than 300,000 job opportunities in the Middle Eastern countries where it has operations between 2003 and end-August 2012.
In his speech, Mohammed Abdul Latif Jameel thanked the ceremony organizers for the recognition. He said: “At this ceremony, I am representing more than 700 of my associates who are working as job opportunity coordinators in more than 36 BRJ branches in the Middle East.”
He said he was also representing above 300,000 young males and females in this region, who decided to fit into the job opportunities provided to them.
“In fact, they honored us with the opportunity to serve them. Without the support from God, and then the success of those young males and females, we would have never been able to walk along this road. Thank you all.”
Jameel said BRJ has provided more than SR 1.3 billion to finance small projects and productive household projects.
“We are looking to reach one million job opportunities within the few upcoming years,” he said.
Jameel suggested to the GCC Ministers of Labour to merge all related governmental and private organizations responsible for job creation under one umbrella and to create a network of branches in the cities to provide services.
The job creation team should work in the field in direct contact with the society in the districts, seeking to detect obstacles and difficulties, developing the right solution and gradually resolve difficulties according to a specific
schedule.
According to Jameel, this mechanism will enable unemployed to benefit from such branches and to choose from the available job opportunities, all under one roof.

German Minister of Economy and Energy visits Juffali Industrial Business Park in KAEC
Juffali recently welcomed German Federal Minister of Economy and Energy Katherina Reiche, during an official visit to the Juffali Industrial Business Park in King Abdullah Economic City, in the presence of Khaled Juffali, chairman of Juffali, and senior executives. The visit, on Feb. 2, marks a significant milestone in strengthening Saudi–German industrial cooperation.
Covering a total land area of 400,000 square meters, the business park serves as a strategic platform for advanced manufacturing and industrial localization in the Kingdom. The visit highlighted key joint industrial projects developed in collaboration with leading global partners, reflecting a shared commitment to long-term investment, technology transfer, and local value creation.
The official program included welcoming remarks and ceremonial milestones, during which Liebherr laid the foundation stone for its factory, while Juffali Industrial Products Company and National Automobile Industry placed the cornerstone for their manufacturing facility, symbolizing the advancement of two flagship industrial projects within the business park.
The Juffali Industrial Products Company and National Automobile Industry facility will have an annual production capacity of 6,000 trucks, while Liebherr’s plant is designed to produce up to 1,000 concrete mixers annually. Both facilities will operate with 100 percent local assembly and manufacturing in Saudi Arabia, reinforcing the Kingdom’s localization agenda and supporting the development of national industrial capabilities.
These projects represent a significant addition to Saudi Arabia’s industrial ecosystem and align closely with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, supporting sustainable industrial growth, job creation, and high-value manufacturing.
Khaled Juffali reaffirmed Juffali’s commitment to expanding international partnerships and contributing to the Kingdom’s economic diversification through long-term industrial collaboration with leading global partners, further strengthening KAEC’s position as a regional hub for advanced manufacturing.
