On the sidelines of the Global Competitiveness Forum, held in Riyadh, Hamidaddin told Mubasher that KAEC targets 2 million citizens over the next four centuries, adding that the city has the biggest infrastructure network in the Middle East.

King Abdullah Port is currently the second biggest port in the kingdom, and will be the biggest on the Red Sea by 2018, he said.
