DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The first formal business exchange between Iraq and the United Arab Emirates began here the evening of Jan. 9, and lasted until Jan. 11. This conference was the first of its kind in the UAE, developed jointly by Iraqi businessmen and international companies conducting business in the UAE.
Approximately 160 Iraqi businessmen met approximately 400 representatives from UAE-based international companies specifically to discuss business opportunities in Iraq. The goal of the conference was to create an environment where the businessmen from both countries would be able to discuss opportunities for investment, trade, joint ventures and industrial growth in Iraq.
“The solution in Iraq needs an economic element. This conference will assist in aiding to the growth that is already occurring,” said Brig.Gen. David G. Reist, Deputy Commanding General, Support, Multi-National Force-West, currently stationed in Al Anbar.
