The UAE Ministry of Economy is associating with the Asian Business Leadership Forum (ABLF), a leadership event series, to promote the Emirates' position as the centre of the world, offering the best infrastructure for business, investment and lifestyle.
The seventh annual edition of the ABLF is scheduled for Saturday at Dubai's Palazzo Versace under the patronage of Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development.
"The work of the ABLF celebrates regional and international dialogue and cooperation to promote growth and create a better future for the region.
