The Dubai Chamber of
Commerce and Industry recently organized a business meeting with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Antwerpen-Waasland,
Belgium.
In attendance at the meeting
were Chairman Majid Al Ghurair and board members of Dubai Chamber, including Raja Al Gurg, Dubai Chamber board member; Sofi Saleh, president of Dubai
Business Women Council; and Easa Al Bastaki, president of University of Dubai.
“Last year, we organized the
UAE-Belgium forum in Dubai as part of an economic mission led by Princess
Astrid and a delegation of ministers as we fostered stronger cooperation and
encouraged two-way investment across key sectors, including trade and tourism
and also signed two important agreements with chambers of commerce to enhance
bilateral trade and to explore joint ventures,” Al Ghurair said.
Additionally, Al Ghurair noted the fact
that Belgium is Dubai’s 11th largest trading partner. Both sides
enjoy strong positions in global business. Together, they can develop new
economic growth.
“With your visit today, we
hope to build on these efforts and pave the way for increased collaboration and
new economic growth as Belgium is Dubai’s 11th largest trading partner — and both
sides enjoy strategic geographic position, a supportive environment for
businesses and investors, as well as thriving economies supported by global
trade,” he said.
