Sultan Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World Group<\/strong> said today at the <strong>Global Business Forum Africa<\/strong> in <strong>Dubai<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>H.E. Bin Sulayem<\/strong>\u2019s comments came during a session titled <strong>Partnerships for Prosperity<\/strong>, which examined Dubai\u2019s efforts to strengthen its investment and trade ties with promising African markets. He highlighted prospects for expanding cooperation between Africa and the UAE and discussed the best ways to simultaneously drive growth in both markets.<\/p>\n<p>He outlined the mechanisms for achieving prosperity, which, he said, require African countries to work to provide opportunities for business success by enacting legislation, laws and policies, in addition to providing logistical services, finance and infrastructure to enable African countries to attract major investments.<\/p>\n<p>On the work of ports and their contribution to promoting economic growth, <strong>H.E. Bin Sulayem<\/strong> explained that their status comes from the role they play in stimulating prosperity and increasing investment, referring to the example of Dubai\u2019s ports, which contribute significantly to the UAE\u2019s GDP and create many job opportunities on top of being gateways to markets around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe important thing is to use ports to support the continuous development of business and the search for innovative ideas that contribute to the transition to a new era of recovery and prosperity. Dubai is constantly seeking to build partnerships and has important experience in expanding in Africa. It seeks to transfer its wealth of experience to help develop business in Africa and to contribute effectively to achieving economic growth in the continent\u2019s countries. Dubai is committed to expanding its presence in Africa because of all the ingredients it possesses that stimulate the building of sustainable companies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Dubai, we are very optimistic about building the best relations with African countries, but what Africa needs today is transparency, governance and the provision of transportation networks to encourage the private sector, spur investments and make profits. They must also work to reduce the cost of transportation and the complexities in supply chains, with the provision of financing that encourages increased investments and contributes to achieving economic growth,\u201d <strong>H.E. Bin Sulayem<\/strong> continued.<\/p>\n<p>On the impact of the pandemic, <strong>H.E. Bin Sulayem<\/strong> said: \u201cThe supply chains have been exposed during the last period to unprecedented challenges and there were significant restrictions to their operations. We have seen that they are highly affected by global crises and we need to find proactive solutions to address this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bin Sulayem<\/strong> pointed out that challenges remain within Africa\u2019s industrial sector and the capabilities of young people must be developed, saying: \u201cWe are carrying out programmes to educate young people, involve them and refine their capabilities \u2013 this is part of our societal responsibilities in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the coming months, Dubai Ports will reach about 100,000 young people in Africa with specific programmes to qualify them to be active in contributing to business development and to growing the economies of their countries,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GBF Africa<\/strong> is taking place on <strong>October 13-14<\/strong> on the sidelines of <strong>Expo 2020 Dubai<\/strong>. Bearing the theme <strong>Transformation Through Trade<\/strong>, the event aims to set the stage for significant post-pandemic trade and commerce between Dubai and Africa in a post-pandemic world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His Excellency Sultan Bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO of DP World Group, sheds lights on emerging UAE-Africa business opportunities at GBF Africa 2021 in Dubai Africa offers significant potential for investment and economic partnerships that can create mutual benefits for UAE businesses and their African counterparts, H.E.
