“We are facing an extremely favorable political context regarding the relationship between the two states, with the Government of Romania managing several major economic projects in partnership with the United Arab Emirates. Thus, at the CCIR level there is a real interest in involving as much as possible the Romanian business environment in these projects, the fields proposed by the Emirati side targeting different economic sectors, such as: transport, logistics, energy, IT&C, agriculture, etc. Today’s meeting represents a very important step in the sense of boosting relations between the business communities in Romania and the United Arab Emirates, being the first time that the two national chambers are discussing face to face and can, in this way, establish an action plan with immediate applicability. In the next period, we will take the first concrete steps of this plan with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Emirati side, as well as with the establishment of a Romania – United Arab Emirates Business Council”, said the president of the CCIR, Mr. Mihai Daraban.
“At the level of the two national chambers, the Emirati one and the Romanian one, it was necessary to establish a direct connection, and in this sense, I would like to thank both the president of the CCIR, Mr. Mihai Daraban, and the general secretary of the CCIR, Mr. Ovidiu Silaghi , because they made it happen. Romania is one of the traditional economic partners of the United Arab Emirates, as evidenced by the highly successful investments that Emirati businessmen have made, over time, in your country. Looking over the annual figures that stand next to the value of trade between Romania and the United Arab Emirates, I firmly believe that there is a great potential for growth for both countries. There are many joint projects, in different economic sectors, that Emirati and Romanian entrepreneurs must take advantage of to develop their businesses”, said the president of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the United Arab Emirates, Mr. Abdullah Mohamed Al Mazrui.
