It was reported that an Omani delegation led by Dr. Saleh bin Said Masan, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion for Commerce and Industry, conducted a working visit to Tsingshan Group’s industrial facilities in China. The visit aimed to implement the cooperation agreement signed in October 2025 and to accelerate the execution of Oman’s first integrated green steel project.
During the visit, the delegation toured Tsingshan’s lithium battery and energy storage facilities, receiving briefings on modern production lines developed for renewable energy markets. These engagements were noted to align with Oman’s objective of developing clean energy supply chains domestically, while highlighting the importance of battery technologies for green hydrogen projects and the electric vehicle sector.
Dr. Masan and accompanying officials also held meetings with Tsingshan Group’s senior management, during which the master plan for the planned integrated industrial city in Oman was reviewed. Discussions focused on accelerating investment timelines and enabling the competitive export of steel and battery products to international markets.
Abdulaziz bin Ahmed Al-Qasimi, Head of the Capital-Intensive Industries Department at the Ministry, stated that the partnership represents a key pillar of Industrial Strategy 2040. He emphasized that the goal is to transfer and localize advanced technologies in green steel and energy storage, combining Oman’s green hydrogen potential with new industrial technologies.
The project is expected to create skilled employment, strengthen technology transfer, and increase the industrial sector’s contribution to the economy. Tsingshan Group’s decision to position Oman as a hub for green industrial investments is seen as a significant step supporting the sustainability and balanced growth objectives of Oman Vision 2040.
