Last month, DCCI announced ambitious plans to strengthen its support of local industry, further improve working practices, and encourage more effective dialogue between the Chamber and its members.
Addressing representatives of the Foodstuffs Trading Group, DCCI President Obaid Al Tayer said: "This meeting is of great significance. Besides being the first meeting of its kind at the Chamber, it represents the launch of the DCCI's new strategy."
He added: "The foodstuffs sector is a vital part of the local economy. Meetings like today's are an ideal platform to exchange views, discuss relevant issues, and address mutual concerns."
Those attending the meeting agreed to form a special committee to represent members and articulate their views. Applications to stand on the committee are to be submitted within the next week.
New Business Groups are also in the pipeline for printing and publishing; land transport; food and beverages manufacturing; building materials trading and manufacturing; pharmaceuticals, healthcare and hospital equipments; and for organisers of exhibitions and conferences. The Land Transport Business Group is scheduled to meet on Saturday, October 12.
