Omani minister invites Chinese companies to participate in urban planning projects

MUSCAT, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) — Omani Minister of Housing and Urban Planning Khalfan Al Shueili said here on Monday that Chinese companies are welcome to participate in his country’s urban planning projects.
In an interview with Xinhua on the sidelines of the three-day Urban October Conference that began on Monday, the minister, who has visited many cities in China, said China had “impressive” capabilities in urban planning.
According to the minister, two key aspects that impressed him about Chinese urban construction are technological empowerment and environmental protection.
