Sharjah: Sharjah FDI Office (Invest in Sharjah) — an investment entity operating under the Government of Sharjah, is targeting events in two of Chinese cities in a bid to increase the UAE’s business opportunities with the Far East.
The organisation will be exhibiting at the 2017 World Forum for Foreign Direct Investment, which takes place in Shanghai on May 23 and 24, and then at the China Offshore Summit, which is being held in Shenzhen on May 24 and 25. Invest in Sharjah’s participation is aimed at strengthening its existing relationships and facilitating the forging of new alliances with prospective business partners.
Marwan Al Sarkal, CEO of Shurooq, who was accompanied with Saif Al Suwaidi and Yonghui Ma, Investment Promotion Managers at Invest in Sharjah, described both forums as being crucial opportunities to raise awareness and continue investment momentum for the UAE, with estimates for 2016 bilateral trade with China as high as $60 billion (Dh220 billion).
