NMS officers visited the office of Orient Integrated Development Consultant, Inc. to introduce the prospect of partnering with a foreign investor from Australia. OIDCI is a Philippine-based consulting firm with a proven track record in integrated area and rural development, environment and natural resource management, governance, and institutional development. Among other things, areas of synergy between NMS and OIDCI were discussed, taking off from the overlapping interest and track record of both companies in the transportation sector. Further discussions will ensue in the next coming months to bring the prospective partnership with the Australian consortium forward.
