Salem Al Shamsi, Vice President of International Relations at Dubai Chambers, commented: “We remain committed to empowering the local business community to capitalise on promising opportunities in global markets and achieve sustainable growth and expansion by leveraging Dubai’s unique strengths as an international business hub. In doing so, we contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of the private sector and accelerating the growth of the emirate’s non-oil foreign trade.”
