While Kwon concedes that \u201cdemand for steel is yet to increase in earnest,\u201d his team is well positioned with considerable expertise.<\/p><p>\u201cOne of our members has been working in the steel business for over 30 years, another for over 10 years, and another has been with our company for three years but was in the industry before that. Everyone has a lot of experience in their field and is doing their part based on this,\u201d Kwon says.<\/p><p>They may be encouraged by the forecast that annual demand for flat and long steel in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, including Saudi Arabia, <a href=\"https:\/\/gmk.center\/en\/news\/annual-demand-for-rolled-steel-in-the-gulf-countries-will-reach-38-million-tons-by-2030\/\">is expected to reach 38 million tons by 2030<\/a> \u2013 growing by 6.2 percent annually.<\/p><p>Beyond steel, the Riyadh Office focuses on other metals and chemicals, although Kwon is eagerly anticipating further rising opportunities. \u201cIt is interesting how there are business opportunities emerging in areas we don\u2019t normally consider. For example, Saudi Arabia is very sensitive to food security and imports a lot of grain. There have also been many discussions about smart farm projects recently. And meanwhile, farmed shrimp exports from Saudi Arabia\u2019s coastal waters have been heading to Japan,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04a23de elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"04a23de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/riyadh.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjQ2NzUxIiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL25ld3Muc2Ftc3VuZ2NudC5jb21cL3VwbG9hZFwvMi4wXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC9zaXRlc1wvM1wvMjAyM1wvMTFcL3JpeWFkaC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1260\" height=\"620\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/riyadh.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-46751\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/riyadh.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/riyadh-500x246.jpg 500w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/riyadh-1024x504.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1260px) 100vw, 1260px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3717d42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3717d42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Adapting to life in Saudi Arabia<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4afe202 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4afe202\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Even though Kwon encourages others to be excited about doing business in Saudi Arabia, he recognizes that it can take time to acclimatize.<\/p><p>\u201cAs with other regions, the Middle East has its business customs and you cannot get to know them without experiencing them yourself. I engaged in sales with Saudi Arabia while I was still based at our headquarters in Korea and I also participated in a Short Dispatch Program in Algeria. I think the company deployed me to Riyadh considering my experience in the region and my personality,\u201d Kwon reflects.<\/p><p>Another issue that he mentions is the need to travel by airplane a lot because of Saudi Arabia\u2019s size. Kwon says this is essential to meet with domestic partners, while he also oversees operations at Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Jeddah Office elsewhere in Saudi Arabia. Fortunately, it only takes about 30 minutes to get from the Riyadh Office to the airport. And he takes time to communicate with his staff whenever he gets the chance to compensate for his busy travel schedule, insisting \u201cit\u2019s important to manage the office atmosphere.\u201d<\/p><p>Generally, Kwon says he is \u201cvery satisfied\u201d with both his work and life in Saudi Arabia, hoping that people will pay even more attention to the country. In addition, as we have seen, he is working with his Riyadh Office team members to discover new business opportunities in Saudi Arabia as it ushers in that economic and cultural transformation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we continue our sweep across Samsung C&amp;T Trading &amp; Investment Group\u2019s dozens of global offices, we move northwards from our most recent Office Spotlight installments in Accra and Nairobi to the Middle East &amp; North Africa (MENA) region.
