It is a great pleasure for me to join you today in inaugurating the 13th session of the Annual Investment Forum, held under the gracious patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the UAE government, represented by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, the Ministry of State for Foreign Trade, and the Annual Investment Forum, for their invaluable support in organising this distinguished event.
