DCCI discusses consolidating relations with Italy

This came in a meeting where Mr. Abdul Rahman Ghanim Al Mutaiwee, the Director General of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry met with Mr. Andrea Turcato, the Executive Director of 'Fiera Di Vicenza', which is the organisation responsible for promoting Italian jewellery, as well as organizing major exhibitions and trade fairs, and Mr. Moaz Barakat, the Managing Director of the World Gold Council in the Middle East, Turkey and Pakistan.

Mr. Andrea Turcato pointed out that due to the strong and vital position it occupies in the region, they are planning on setting up a permanent distribution centre here to represent the centre of Italian gold jewellery in the region. He also invited the Dubai Chamber to organize for a delegation visit to Venice where this organisation operates from; highlighting that it's the third largest province in Italy after Milan and Torrens. He suggested January, June or September as possible dates for the visit to coincide with the jewellery shows taking place during those months.

Mr. Moaz Barakat reaffirmed the important position occupied by Dubai, as he mentioned that the emirate has been selected as the first port to launch a 'Damas' collection made by 54 Italian designers.
