“I take this opportunity to extend a very warm welcome to our honoured guests from the UAE,” the Prime Minister said referring to the UAE Minister of Foreign Trade Sheikha Lubna bint Khalid al-Qasimi and Chairman of the Dubai World Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum.
“This flagship project symbolises the keen interest of the United Arab Emirates in investing in India and in promoting stronger business and people-to-people relationship between our two countries. Kerala with its huge diaspora of skilled and enterprising workers, engineers, doctors and other professionals is ideally suited to become the gateway for these investments”, Dr. Singh said. |
