Speaking at a gala dinner hosted by Pearl Dubai in honour of the 700-plus delegates assembled in Dubai for the Summit of the Global Agenda, Abdul Majeed Ismail Al Fahim, Chairman of Pearl Dubai, highlighted the company's contribution to the country's pioneering programmes that seek to explore tangible solutions for the good of the overall international community.

Al Fahim said:

"As one of the Middle East's most dynamic economies, the UAE has been crucial to the region's fast-paced growth. Dubai is proud to have achieved the distinction of hosting such a unique gathering for the Summit of the Global Agenda, which further testifies the UAE's significant status on the international landscape."

He added: "Through our presence here at this summit, we have only reiterated the Al-Fahim Group's solid support to any resolute action that will usher in a brighter and better tomorrow for future generations."
