The East Coast Economic Region Development Council's (ECERDC) investment mission here aims to woo investors in the oil and gas industry, particularly in the downstream activities. Its chief executive officer, Datuk Jebasingam Issace John, said the council has identified key projects from the East Coast Economic Region's (ECER) main economic clusters to be promoted to West Asian investors. “We hope to focus on the oil and gas in the downstream activities and education,” he told Bernama here Tuesday. He said the council would hold about 10 business meetings, including with Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Potential investors keen to know more about ECER and opportunities available are welcomed,” he said. Jebasingam is here with the ECERDC investment mission to West Asia from May 7-17 to woo Gulf investors to the development corridor. Riyadh is the second leg of the mission, led by National Corridor Development Adviser and former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), as well as Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
