Bahrain lays foundation stone laid for United States Trade Zone
MANAMA, 20th February, 2022 – The foundation stone was laid for the United States Trade Zone (USTZ) at the Salman Industrial City.
The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism Zayed bin Rashid Al Zayani, US Ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain Steven C.

The USTZ project follows the visit of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister to the USA in November 2019.
A memorandum of understanding was signing in 2021, establishing the trade zone which will contribute to boosting economic, commercial and industrial cooperation and support bilateral trade exchanges.

11 million square meters with future expansion.
Bahrain and the USA will start promoting the zone as a regional center for trade, manufacturing, logistics and distribution among American companies in the Kingdom and GCC markets beyond.
“The availability of economic opportunities in the region is an ideal opportunity for American companies to invest and expand their business through the American trade zone in Bahrain,” said the minister.
He said that the project would usher in broader prospects for joint commercial relations between the two countries in accordance with the advantages of the free trade agreement.
He pointed out that the inauguration of the hub reflects the ministry’s commitment to achieving the visions of the wise leadership in implementing the goals and initiatives that have been set in order to fulfill the desired recovery of the economy.
