Dubai Quality Group and RAK sign partnership deal

Ras Al Khaimah: Dubai Quality Group (DQG) on Monday signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) Chamber of Commerce and Industry to become a strategic investor partner in the group.

The partnership comes in line with the group's strategic vision to disseminate a culture of quality and organisational excellence throughout the business community across the country.

Osama Al Rahma, vice chairman of DQG, signed the agreement along with Dr Abdul Rahman Al Naqbi, director general of the RAK Chamber at DQG's headquarters in the presence of senior officials from parties.

Al Rahma appreciated the efforts of the chamber to implement quality standards and mechanisms of organisational excellence.

Al Rahma said: "This agreement reflects our commitment to the UAE business community."

Al Naqbi said: "We have built a strong and dynamic economy in RAK, especially as the economy of the emirate recorded a growth of 19 per cent last year which raised the GDP of the emirate in 2008 to Dh16 billion.

"On the other hand, this agreement will be the first step in the direction of our strategic plan to modernise and support the local economy through the implementation of the highest standards of quality and excellence in the functional and service performance."
