Rafik said the project would cover an area of 20 million square meters. “Our group will design, finance and build the new city,” he said, adding that it would be completed in nine years.
“The project includes a complete modern medical city to cater for the growing population and will include medical training facilities,” Rafik said, adding that it would create jobs for more than 3,000 Saudi nationals.
The iftar party was attended by Dr. Fahd Al-Hudali, chief editor of Lisan Al-Arab magazine, Dr. Faiz Al-Abideen, Sheikh A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar, general secretary of All-India Sunni Jameyyat Al-Ulema, and Bashirali Shihab Thangal and a large number of Saudi and Indian businessmen and business executives.
Speaking at the Jeddah Hilton, Al-Hudali highlighted the strong economic and political relations between Saudi Arabia and India. “Gammon has been playing a big role in promoting Saudi-Indian economic ties,” he said.
He congratulated the Arab and Islamic Ummah on the advent of Eid Al-Fitr and wished the Eid would bring greater progress and prosperity to the Muslim Ummah. He commended the efforts of Sheikh Aboobacker in spreading the message of Islam in India.
Sheikh Aboobacker urged Muslims in India and other parts of the world to work for promoting world peace and stability. “We can achieve progress only through cooperation and peaceful coexistence of different faith communities.”
He also called for greater efforts to support the poor and solve their problems.
“Our Eid is different from other religious festivals. By celebrating Eid Al-Fitr, we mark the completion of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan, engaging in various good deeds, improving our family and friendly relations and helping the poor and needy,” he said.

Jazan Gov. Prince Muhammad bin Nasser thanked King Abdullah for his efforts to develop the region and strengthen its economic position in order to play a vital role at national and regional levels. He said the king’s order would create more jobs for Saudis. “The king’s order will definitely boost the JEC project,” said Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister Ali Al-Naimi. Saudi Aramco, the largest investor in JEC, is currently building a major oil refinery and an electricity plant in the city, Al-Naimi said, adding that the company would soon unveil plans to develop the city. The Jazan Refinery will process 400,000 barrels per day of Arabian Heavy and Arabian Medium crude oil to produce gasoline, ultra-low sulfur diesel, benzene and paraxylene by 2016. A marine terminal on the Red Sea coast is designed to accommodate very large crude carriers for the supply of crude oil to the new refinery. A 2,400MW high-efficiency combined cycle power plant is also part of the project that will form JEC’s backbone.

“The Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources will establish and develop industries and services related to oil, energy and minerals at JEC,” Al-Naimi said. “We have plans to establish titanium, silica and silicon projects. We are also studying prospects of setting up a ship building industry.”

Prince Faisal bin Turki, adviser at the ministry, said the king’s order was aimed at promoting regional development and achieving economic diversification. “The new infrastructure projects will enhance JEC’s investment climate.”

Abdullatif Al-Othman, governor of Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority, said SAGIA has presented a report to the king explaining the present condition of the four mega-economic cities in Rabigh, Hail, Madinah and Jazan. He hoped that the four cities would achieve greater progress in the coming years.

“King Abdullah’s order for the completion of infrastructure projects at JEF will be a turning point of the city,” Al-Othman said.
