The delegation went to the Sohar Industrial Port and industrial complex located in the Sultanate of Oman to see what the Port of Rotterdam had succeeded to do for the Sohar Industrial Port in a joint-venture between POR and the Omani government that began in 2002. The delegation later went to the Port of Rotterdam, which led to the signing of a Framework of Agreement on a joint -venture between Port of Rotterdam and POIC on 20th October 2009 in Rotterdam. Known as the POR-POIC framework the agreement is aimed at replicating the Sohar model in Lahad Datu to hasten the palm oil-based industrial development within the Lahad Datu palm oil industrial cluster. Under the agreement the Port of Rotterdam (POR) will design, develop and manage the POIC port at Lahad Datu. It will also use its extensive network influence (about 200 countries have business establishments in Rotterdam) to bring in investors to Lahad Datu. The framework agreement is the culmination of more than one year of intensive study and negotiations between POR and POIC. In January 2010 the Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman held a discussion with Lee Holt Judd, chairman of SunBear Solar Sdn. Bhd. on the proposed manufacturing of float glass for solar panels at Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park. Also present at the discussion were the Minister of Industrial Development Datuk Raymond Tan, KKIP Sdn. Bhd. Chairman Datuk Basalie Abd. Hamid, KKIP Chief Executive Officer Datuk Ir. Chong Hon Len and MIDA KL Non-Resource Division Senior Director, Azman Mahmud.
