The inauguration was led by Suhail Al Mazroei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, and other officials. As part of the opening ceremony, the minister planted a mango tree.
Us. Salman Alfarisi, the Indonesian imam, performed the Zuhr prayer, which was attended by the minister, senior envoys, businessmen, private sector leaders and Indonesian expatriates.
