ABU DHABI: The AIM (Annual Investment Meeting) Congress renewed its strategic partnership with the UAE International Investors Council, by signing a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) for coordination and joint work between them towards enhancing the global investment environment and supporting the global economy. The agreement reflects the great success achieved by the partnership during the past years, which contributed to strengthening the UAE’s position as a global investment centre and an attractive destination for foreign investments.
The MoU was signed by Jamal Saif Al Jarwan, Secretary-General of the UAE International Investors Council (UAEIIC), and Dawood Al Shezawi, President of the AIM Congress, in the presence of a number of representatives of both parties, at the AIM Global Foundation headquarters in Dubai.
The memorandum aims to enhance ways of joint work, as the AIM Congress provides an ideal platform that brings together investors, decision-makers, startups and innovators from around the
world. It contributes to exchanging experiences and ideas and stimulating global economic growth to provide the best investment opportunities to the global business community.
The two parties agreed to enhance endeavours and efforts by developing a comprehensive cooperation plan, which includes organising an integrated set of activities and events to collect and exchange information related to national investments abroad and evaluate the effects of economic measures imposed by the countries hosting those investments. This contributes to building a database of foreign investment opportunities and viewpoints related to various foreign markets, as well as analysing the investment environment in those global markets.
Jamal Saif Al Jarwan, Secretary-General of the UAE International Investors Council, expressed his happiness with this cooperation, saying, ‘Cooperation has always been an essential factor for the success of our work at the UAE International Investors Council, and today’s renewal of the partnership
with the AIM Congress reaffirms our belief in the importance of strengthening the strategic partnerships. It will enable us to explore and cover a wide range of investment sectors, and in parallel, the UAE International Investors Council has witnessed great achievements, specifically in building new partnerships that have contributed to strengthening economic and investment ties with other markets globally.’
For his part, Dawood Al Shezawi, President of the AIM Global Foundation, stressed the importance of the partnership between the AIM Congress and the UAE International Investors Council, and its important role in supporting the event’s objectives of enhancing dialogue and cooperation between investors from different parts of the world.
Al Shezawi said, ‘We are pleased to continue our partnership with the UAE International Investors Council, which has played a prominent role in enhancing cooperation between various stakeholders, and which shares our vision of stimulating growth in the investment sector. T
hrough this renewed partnership, we will be able to continue our joint endeavours to facilitate transactions across borders with the aim of providing new opportunities for companies and investors. We are eagerly looking forward to continuing this fruitful cooperation that contributes to stimulating growth, economic and investment development between the UAE and all countries of the world, to create a brighter future.”
