The Commissioner of the Investment Promotion Commission in Khartoum State Ehab Hashim Ismail has affirmed that the investment law provides protection for investors and producers. This came during a field visit Ismail paid Thursday to the Soba Industrial Zone to inspect the problems facing investors related to the administrative aspects of the Investment Commission related to the protection of investors. The commissioner urged other relevant government institutions to overcome obstacles facing investors to help increase the production in a way that strengthens the national economy. The commissioner got acquainted with a pioneering and successful experience in the Omar Tex Textile Factory in the Soba Industrial Zone and the challenges facing the factory with regard to sanitation, stressing the encouragement of the indigenization of the spinning and weaving industry after its extinction, especially that Sudan was considered one of the pioneers in this field.

The Executive Director of the Khartoum Gold and Minerals Company Group (SABAYEK) Prof. Essam El-Din El-Zain unveiled a plan to open a gigantic gold and jewelry factory in Sudan as part of its strategic vision, which extends up to the year 2050, within a project on indigenization and development of the gold artifact industry in Sudan.

 

Prof. El-Zain said, in a statement to SUNA, that the plan was based on manufacturing, training and marketing of Sudanese gold and jewelry products, besides standing out the trademarks of gold, jewelry, precious stones and diamonds, which would attract various investments in the sector.

 

He added that the factory would contain production lines for gold pounds, chains, jewelry and various medals, revealing establishment of specialized technical workshops for precious stones and diamonds, referring to the existence of qualitative storage of gold that was brought in since 2022 to support the project.
