Dubai, February 14, 2024: The President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania (CCIR), Mr. Mihai Daraban, and the Secretary General of the organization, Mr. Ovidiu Silaghi, participated on February 14, 2020, in an official meeting with Mr. Mohammed al Muallem , executive vice president of Dubai Port World (DP World), the largest Emirati investor in Romania.

“DP World is a company with tradition in Romania, considering that it has been investing in our country for 20 years. Since 2004, the company has developed several projects in Romania, in the field of logistics and connectivity, creating the company of jobs. The dynamism of operations in the new terminal in Constanța Port managed to attract the interest of other important operators in the field of naval transport and logistics. Capitalizing on the advantage of the current political context, extremely favorable for the relationship between Romania and the United Arab Emirates, CCIR continues to be involved in mediating the dialogue between the business communities of the two states. Today’s meeting represented the perfect opportunity to take important steps in establishing the stages related to the expansion of DP World’s operations and investments in Romania”, said the president of CCIR, Mr. Mihai Daraban.

“Our relationship with CCIR is an older one and every time we have enjoyed the unconditional support of this organization regarding our investment intentions in Romania. Thus, it was possible to start the construction of the terminal in Constanța, the largest container port in the Black Sea and which, through its strategic position at the mouth of the Danube Canal, is connected to the riparian countries in Europe. At the moment, there is a considerable growth rate in the transport of goods, globally, which makes the transit of goods on the Danube extremely important, with the Port of Constanța as the gateway. As a result, we have, two years ago, started the project of an intermodal terminal, near Aiud, which will offer the possibility of expanding the operations we carry out in Romania”, said the executive vice president of DP World, Mr. Mohammed al Muallem.
