According to the Ministry of Commerce (MoC), Mr Liang Shan, deputy director of Shanghai Electronic Communication Technology Co., Ltd said that his company wants to invest in the coal-fired power plant in the kingdom. In addition, he also added that the company is specialized in coal-fired power using modern technology that does not impact the environment.

Meanwhile, Mr. Yongtao Jiao, director of Beidou Star Data Technology Co., Ltd has also shown similar interest to invest in the satellite system. The company, as claimed, has a satellite technology that can capture images and transmit data across many countries as well as continents.
