The initiative is also expected to catalyse high-quality investments, create skilled employment opportunities, improve connectivity and support infrastructure development across the region.
Nor Hisham said the official launch of the JS-SEZ Masterplan and Investment Blueprint will bring together government leaders, industry stakeholders, investors and international partners, marking a significant milestone in regional development efforts.
He said that the media would continue to play an important role in communicating accurate information, building investor confidence and highlighting emerging opportunities arising from the implementation of the JS-SEZ.
