DUBAI/GHANA: Dubai Chamber of Commerce Industry (DCCI) has strengthened its international presence once again by opening a new office in Accra, Ghana, providing a gateway for UAE businesses to West Africa s 250 million consumers.Hamad Buamim, President and CEO, Dubai Chamber, who was leading a trade mission to Ghana, officially opened the new office in the Ghanaian capital to promote Dubai as an international business hub and strengthen economic and trade ties with Ghana.The new office in Ghana marks the second office opened in Africa. The first, in Ethiopia, was inaugurated in 2013. These developments underscore the commitment of the Dubai Chamber to strengthening economic ties with Africa.During the two-day trade mission to Ghana the Dubai Chamber delegation held a private meeting with the Vice President of Ghana, Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, who encouraged increased investment in his country in key sectors, including energy, real estate and agriculture, citing a stable investment climate and democratic credentials. Amissah-Arthur commended Dubai Chamber for opening its new office in Accra and gave assurances of government support.The delegation also participated in a host of other activities, including a Ghana Economic Outlook Business Strategy Conference, which was attended by 200 businessmen and government heads. A roundtable was also organised, which saw the participation of several authorities and 25 C-level heads, as well as a Dubai briefing session for Ghanaian businessmen and women- 150 in total.Speaking at the inauguration of the Accra office, Hamad Buamim, President and CEO, Dubai Chamber said: The launch of this office is an important development in the expansion of Dubai Chamber s footprint in Africa and sends a strong signal of our commitment to enhance ties both in Ghana and in the West Africa region. I would like to thank our Ghanaian government and business partners, and the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, whose support and cooperation has enabled us to start a new era in Dubai and Ghana s relationship, he added.The inauguration of the Accra office is a perpetuation of the Dubai Chamber s strategy of exploring untapped markets in the world. Ghana stands out as a beacon of safe investment in Sub-Saharan Africa, thanks to a strong GDP growth forecast and stable political environment conducive for business. Furthermore, Dubai businesses can use Ghana as a gateway to expand their reach to 250 million consumers in the region. As a truly world-class city, Dubai s open door policy, its user-friendly corporate climate, infrastructural development, logistics and world-class banking and financial facilities will serve Ghana to strengthen its bilateral ties with businesses in the Middle East region and beyond. This new office will open up a wave of opportunities for Dubai businesses and their competitiveness to reach out to the West African region while facilitating Ghanaian enterprises to use Dubai as an ideal gateway for Ghanaian exports to the Middle East region, South East Asia and Europe , added Buamim. Also speaking at the office inauguration, Dr Ekwow Spio Garbrah, Minister for Trade and Industry, Ghana praised this development and stated that the new office is a manifestation of successful preceding trade and business forums and will help take the two countries bilateral relations to a higher level.Dr Garbrah added: The opening of this office also reflects the commitment of the UAE and Ghana governments in enhancing trade ties. He said that the opening of the new office also reflects the commitments of Dubai and Ghana to enhance trade ties as total non-oil trade between the two partners rose to Dhs8.9 billion in 2013. On the day after the office inauguration ceremony, a forum exploring synergies for economic partnerships between Dubai and Ghana was held at the Movenpick Hotel. The session was attended by various dignitaries including Hamad Buamim, President and CEO of Dubai Chamber, Alhaji Yakubu, Consul General, Consulate of the Republic of Ghana, and Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, Minister of Trade and Industry, who delivered a keynote address. oakley sunglasses Karanka’s side edged the chances in a tentative first half.

Everybody in the country realizes that Iran is behind such media. In this context, we say these media outlets are involved in promoting sectarianism. Not just that, they don’t conceal their allegiance to the Iranian regime and the hostility towards the GCC states in general and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in particular.“Needless to say this behavior is not random, but rather these are Iranian attempts to test the immunity of the Kuwaiti populace.“However, if these behaviors find that the Kuwaiti immunity is poor and the country is not in a position to produce the necessary â€کantibiotic’ to protect the dignity of the nation and deter the symbols of the Iranian influence, then they will go ahead in increasing their dose of â€کprobation’ more and more in a bid to transform our country into a replica of the southern governorates of Iraq where Iran represents the real ruler in a prelude to transform our country — God forbid — into the 19th governorate based on the Iranian Safawi notion, but not in accordance with the Saddamist Baath notion.“But if Kuwait hastens to maintain national unity and prove the soundness of its adamant national immunity and rule out double allegiance, then all Iranian designs will be futile not only in Kuwait, but in the entire Gulf region.“In spite of the above, I am afraid our immunity will prove to be weak, particularly since we know that the government in recent times has started — unfortunately — aggravating the weakness of this immunity.“In other words, in spite of the increasing number of trial balloons that have been launched by the Iranian government, it is unfortunate our government has failed to retaliate soundly.â€â€œSuch being the case, we must expect a lot of Iranian tests as well as more sectarian provocations and attempts to feign more sedition in an attempt to target the Kuwaiti identity and it security.â€Also:“A news report appeared yesterday in local newspapers which said that the National Assembly’s Negative Phenomenon Committee plans to summon the Minister of Education and the Minister of Higher Education Dr Mudhi Al-Hmoud and the Head of the National Security Apparatus Sheikh Mohammad Al-Khaled to discuss with these officials the negative phenomena that currently threatens national unity and how to boost national spirit among citizens and encounter those who are striving to destabilize national security,†columnist and former MP Ahmed Al-Mulaifi wrote for Annahar daily Wednesday.“It goes without saying the news report in question is unique and also painful because all tendencies that may be classified as attempts to arouse public opinion about sectarian and tribal discords to tear apart the national fabric were adopted by some members of the National Assembly.“Hence, we suggest the National Assembly’s Negative Phenomenon Committee, should have foremost summoned the members of the National Assembly in the presence of a group of psychologists, sociologists and legal experts to discuss the psychological, social and legal perils that may negatively affect the Kuwaitis as a result of some statements which may have been issued by some MPs from time to time including the Chairman of the Committee Mohammed Hayef Al-Mutairi and the MPs Waleed Al-Tabtabaei, Daifallah Buramiya, Adel Al-Saraawi, Saadoun Hammad Al-Otaibi, Hussain Mezyad, Adnan Al-Mutawwa, Saleh Ashour, Khaled Al-Adwa and so on.“The Negative Phenomenon Committee of the National Assembly which met yesterday in the presence of the Minister of Information Sheikh Ahmed Al-Abdullah, and the Undersecretary and Assistant Undersecretaries of the Ministry in addition to the Ministry’s Assistant Undersecretary for Curricula Affairs, was fruitful because all those present agreed on the necessity to encounter those who try to toy with national unity and security,†columnist Abdurrahman Awad wrote for the Freedom Journal Wednesday.“Everyone present agreed that this can be realized through cooperation among the concerned authorities in the country including the government, the MPs and civilian institutions.“For its part, the government which was represented by the Minister of Information Sheikh Ahmed Al-Abdullah emphasized the government keenness for firm application of laws on all without discrimination.“Likewise, the Minister added the local satellite channels that help to destabilize national unity must be brought to book.“Meanwhile, the Minister revealed the Ministry of Information has finalized legal revisions to be incorporated into the country’s Audio Visual Law and the Press and Publication Law. He hinted these will be referred to the Cabinet before they are sent to the National Assembly during the next round of discussions.“However, needless to say what has been witnessed on the local arena in terms of agitating sectarian and denominational tendencies seems to be unjustifiable, particularly since we know the agitation of these tendencies will eventually impede the implementation of the ambitious plan of the State. “Such being the case, we call on everyone to concert their efforts to sort out the strange phenomenon in the country, given the fact all State institutions and individuals in the country must shoulder their responsibility to fight these phenomena. ““The United Nations on its electronic website last Friday announced that it has formed a committee to follow up women’s affairs to accelerate progress to achieve equality between men and women,†columnist and Professor at Kuwait University’s Faculty of Sharia and the Islamic Studies Dr Bassam Al-Shatti wrote for Alam-Alyawm daily Wednesday.“However, the news report in question which was also carried by the international news agencies shows this committee will have four departments which will help it to carry out its duties including the UN Development Fund for Women’s Affairs, Women’s Upgrading Department, the Consulting Bureau Following Up the Issue of Equality Between Men and Women and the UN International Institute for Research and Training.“However, what is surprising indeed is to see all 192 UN members agreed to establish such a body and the fact is this issue was discussed by the UN General Assembly in September 2005.“During this meeting, the General Assembly was empowered to study women’s affairs and the Assistant Secretary-General was to follow up the this task under the supervision of the UN Secretary-General.“In this context, we say $500 million had been allocated as an initial payment to meet the project’s requirements and the UN Secretariat-General had requested member states as well as non-government organizations to nominate their candidates to the committee which is to begin work in January 2011.“However, we believe the Committee in question aims to squander the rights of women in general and those of Muslim women in particular. In this context, we have observed that the basic law and charter of the Committee in question will discuss women’s political, social and economic rights, but the Committee members have neither made reference to women’s religious rights nor to the war that has been waged against the veil (hijab).“Meanwhile, we say the UN had earlier issued a social law to deal with women’s affairs in total contravention with the Islamic Sharia to such an extent this law forbid parents from interfering in the affairs of their daughters.â€â€œA lot of us are not bothered about garbage. We eat and drink and throw all the waste in dustbins which are then emptied into garbage bins outside our homes from where the cleaning laborers collect it,†columnist Dr AbdulMohsen Yousef Jamal wrote for Al-Qabas daily.“Do most people realize that waste collected from residential and industrial areas reaches thousands of tons daily? Al-Qabas daily had been publishing some important reports on this subject and has been highlighting this issue. According to a report filed by Saoud Al-Fadli on March 30, 2008, every individual in Kuwait is generating 1.4 kg waste daily which is very high. Hence, there is an imperative need to recycle waste using modern technology.â€â€œThe real problem in Kuwait is that we know the causes of our problems, but we don’t know how to find solutions,†columnist Mubarak Fahad Al-Duwailah wrote for Arrouiah daily.“Let’s take the example of traffic jams. Other states in the region too are facing traffic jams but only during peak hours like in the mornings and evenings when most people go to work and return. But in Kuwait, there is traffic all day and the Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads are jam packed from 5 am until 10 pm.“We know the causes of this problem, but we refrain from finding a solution.â€â€œWithin the next few days, the United States of America will complete the ninth year of the war against Afghanistan. This is the longest overseas wartime the USA has spent so far, besides it is the heaviest budget the United States has ever approved for overseas battles,†Mohammad Hilal Al-Khaldi wrote for Al-Anba daily.“Based on statistics issued in May on expenditures of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq from 2001 to 2003, the US has spent about one trillion dollars in that regard, with roughly 4,400 American soldiers and 1,800 Allied forces in Afghanistan among them 1,100 American soldiers, losing their lives. For this, we are asking if the world has become a better place, as Mr Bush and his colleagues had reiterated.â€â€œFirst of all, I would like to congratulate the United States of America, US ambassador to Kuwait Deborah Jones, and the embassy staff on the 234th Independence Day which fell on July 4, Yousef Abdulkareem Al-Zenqawi wrote for Al-Seyassah daily.“Unfortunately, an exclusive forgery case was uncovered with an American officer deceiving the US Army officials by manipulating the files to lead a group of soldiers at the battlefield, irrespective of the officer not holding the basic military experience. The military training he ever had was a 12-week course at a civil faculty in 2004. The American citizen had no hatred for his continent, yet he managed to occupy an important position in the army so easily, in a disloyal manner.â€â€œThe government has earned accolades for its wise policies and is being referred to as â€کwell-guided’ and a â€کgood public funds manager’,†columnist Ahmad Al-Shammari wrote for Al-Dar daily.“The last title is quite apt as the government has been handling money issues quite appropriately and knows where to allocate money and when to do so. The government recently succeeded in getting approval for the Needy Fund Law which was an alternative to the proposal on waiving off interests on citizens’ loans. “The Popular Labor Bloc, which used to criticize the bill, has started supporting it. The bloc had earlier called the bill â€کlaughable,’ â€کstillborn’ and â€کanother way to favor banks,’ because the government did not yield in to its pressure. I wish the lawmakers a memorable vacation.†“In a joint festival organized by the Democratic National Alliance in solidarity with the prisoner of opinion Khaled Al-Fadhala, my attention was drawn to the writer and lawyer Mohammad Abdulkadir Al-Jassem’s saying about plans to involve the writer Ahmad Al-Dayyen in a state security case, besides other intentions to try MP Musallam Al-Barrak during the parliamentary break,†Waleed Al Rujaib wrote for Al-Rai daily.“What caught my attention were allegations to â€کinvolve’ Ahmad Al Dayyen in a state security case, when Al-Dayyen is known to be one of the most committed writers, who strictly adheres to the legal framework during his writing. This confirms how difficult it will be for the State Security to find the gap to accuse him, in their bid to chase any Kuwaiti citizen opposing the government’s policies - which are no more acceptable politically or physically.“With the issue of Musallam Al-Barrak, it will raise reservations and condemnation among many Kuwaitis, even those who do not agree with him. Now that the world has become one small village, opposing external intervention is meaningless.“The world has established international organizations to defend human rights and governments, as the United Nations did during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Would that be considered an external interference with an internal matter? We hope that prudence prevails while dealing with criticisms aimed at the public interest, no matter how harsh the situation.â€â€œKhalid Al-Fadhala was sentenced to three months imprisonment for alleged verbal attack against HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah,†columnist Mohammad Ahmad Al-Mulla wrote for Al-Shahid daily.“Al-Fadhala received the sentence for defamation of character rather than criticism, according to the judicial statement. Securitymen arrested him in a civilized manner and allowed him to make patriotic statements, but the freedom crusaders were not there to protect Secretary General of the National Democratic Alliance. “We did not hear a word from the so-called sports lawmaker and his associates who used to sympathize with the victim. A lawmaker who was a former member of the National Alliance, former secretary general of the alliance and editors-in-chief who claim to protect public funds have not issued any statement in this regard, although they all claim to be members of the alliance.â€â€œIraqi politicians belonging to various sects, parties, blocs and tribes have not been coordinating their acts for the sake of their nation or to ensure that the incoming government takes off smoothly,†columnist Furat Al-Bassam wrote for Al-Sabah daily. “Iraqi politicians have been maintaining their position since the declaration of election results. None of them deemed it fit to change position after series of tours and dialogues held to ensure amicable resolution of the issue. “The State of Law party is determined to push forward its only nominee while the National Accord with which it formed alliance continues to reject the nominee. None of the two blocs is ready to play second fiddle and each believes that it has majority and should lead the government. Al-Iraqiyah also believes that it should form government since it got the highest number of seats in the Parliament.â€â€œAs clear as my stance could ever be with the freedom of expression issue and my complete opposition to HH the Prime Minister prosecuting those who criticize him, event taking place Monday evening at the headquarters of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Nuzha went further than expected. The event was in solidarity with the opinion writer, Khaled Al Fadhala, who had been jailed on account of a lawsuit filed by HH the Prime Minister,†Dr Ghanim Al Najjar wrote for Al-Jareeda daily.“The crowd in attendance reflected the composition of society, while the speeches delivered were balanced and focused in general. My old friend, Dr Sanad Al Fadhalah, asked me to make a speech. Although I had nothing to say at first, the atmosphere lured me into speaking about memories I had of the headquarters of NDA and old friends who were snatched by the Iraqi traitors twenty years ago.Al Fadhala had also surrendered at the same place. “Probably, there is a symbolic connection between the two incidents, and what I can not understand is how a young Kuwaiti patriot could be arrested by Kuwaiti securitymen at the same place the Kuwaiti fighters were arrested twenty years ago? It’s a sad paradox and since I was part of the scene, I had to mention it.
