Riyadh, July 24, 2019, SPA -- A delegation of 160 diplomats accredited to the Kingdom recently visited NEOM project and attended the beach sports events that were held for the first time in NEOM. In an address to the large diplomatic gathering, CEO Nadhmi Al-Nasr said that NEOM is becoming a reality as more facilities are built at the project’s first urban area, NEOM Bay. It is just the start, and work will continue endlessly. Al-Nasr stated that the first phase of NEOM’s construction is now complete, and the world’s most ambitious project is set to announce its second phase strategy by the end of 2019. The journey of NEOM started in October 2017. “We started phase 2’s strategy, and we will finish that by end of 2019, which means by the end of the year we will share with the world what NEOM is going to be,” Al-Nasr added. --SPA 22:32 LOCAL TIME 19:32 GMT 0033 www.spa.gov.sa/w1144144
