The Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry will host the event, which will be a big step in bolstering economic and business ties between the six-member GCC and India.
Ministers of Commerce and Industry will attend the three-day event.
Heads of chambers of commerce and industry as well as senior officials of major international and regional financial institutions and leading banks will take part in the meeting. Mustafa Sabri, Secretary General of the Jeddah Chamber, has held talks with the Secretary General of GCC Chambers Abdul Rahim Naqi about the preparations for the event.
The forum is aimed at seeking the avenues of investment opportunities on both sides and promoting small scale projects and technical programmes in these countries.
