Sharjah: A high-level delegation from Sharjah, led by Shaikh Sultan Bin Ahmad Al Qasimi, chairman of Sharjah Media Centre, began its participation on Sunday at the third UAE-Korea Economic Partnership Forum, held in the South Korean capital Seoul. The event is on until Tuesday.

Al Qasimi said: “Our participation in the UAE-Korea Economic Partnership Forum is of great importance as it allows us the opportunity to demonstrate Sharjah’s economic environment and, therefore, strengthen our existing ties and build new bridges of cooperation on a global scale.”
He also emphasised that the directives of His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, had brought about Sharjah’s stable and steadfast economic growth. This is manifested in Sharjah’s annual gross domestic product of Dh72 billion, which creates a productive economic climate for foreign investments, Al Qasimi added.
