President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said Thursday, Jan. 19, that Dubai-based logistics company DP World is eyeing to build an industrial park in Clarkfield, Pampanga.
Marcos made the announcement after his meeting with the executives from DP World on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
“We are committed to investing in the Philippines, we’re committed to expand,” Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, group chairman and chief executive officer of DP World, told Marcos.
“So we’re interested in the Philippines, in industrial parks,” Sulayem added.
DP World began as a port operator in Dubai in 1972 and has been developing industrial parks in the United Arab Emirates, Senegal, Egypt, India, and Pakistan.
“If it’s viable and those areas are actually useful for our operation then that would be something that we can immediately develop,” Marcos said. – gb
