JUBAIL: The delegation of the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat) paid a visit to Jubail Industrial City on Tuesday and held a meeting with officials of the Royal Commission for Jubail (RCJ) to discuss ways of cooperating in aspects of human resources and urban planning.
The meeting was attended by Ahmad Al-Balawi, general manager of technical affairs at RCJ, Faisal bin Abdullah Al-Mandil, director general of human resources, and Adel Al-Dosari, director general of strategic planning and investment development.
Officials discussed with the UN delegation RCJ’s activities and services in Jubail Industrial City, especially in planning, current and future investments, and attention to the human element as a priority to rehabilitate, train and provide appropriate incentives for human resources.
Osama Salem, an adviser to the program, said that the visit is to see RCJ’s rich experience in various fields, especially urban planning as the commission has great experience in technical aspects such as cities planning and public utilities, stressing that it is better to transfer these experiences to other cities in the Kingdom.
“RCJ proved that the Jubail experience is a model for comprehensive management and construction of facilities, equipment and infrastructure efficiency,” said Salem.
