The UAE Ministry of Economy has appointed Ahmad Sultan Al Falahi as the new trade attache at the UAE Embassy in New Delhi, India.
The appointment is in line with the leadership's policy of supporting the UAE's overseas trade offices and is jointly coordinated by the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Al Falahi earlier worked as sales director for Europe and the Americas at Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza). He also served as general trade director at Drydocks World. He was also the Mena sales director at Dubai Maritime City. Al Falahi is a member of the Dubai Leaders Programme since 2008.
Abdullah Al Saleh, Undersecretary for Foreign Trade and Industry, Ministry of Economy, said: "The new trade attache plays an integral part in the ministry's efforts to boost the stature of its trade office in India. India is a strategic trading partner for the UAE and trade ties between the two countries are very important for both sides. We wish Al Falahi all the best in his new role."
Al Saleh added: "India ranks first in terms of total trade volumes among the UAE's trading partners, with balance of trade reaching $28 billion in 2014, while the UAE investments in India have exceeded $8 billion."
Al Saleh said the trade office offers support to UAE businesses abroad through providing advice and consultation and acquainting them with local laws.
