In the past year Ramia Farrage has secured exclusive interviews with some of the world's most influential decision makers. Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf hosted her in Islamabad for an exclusive 90 minute live interview broadcasting from his ultra high-security palace on CNBC. Musharraf invited 150 of his friends and colleagues to be audience members during the hour and a half long discussion.

Musharraf revealed his discomfort with America's opposition to the Indo-Pak-Iran oil pipeline and was adamant that Al Qaeda no longer had a significant presence in Pakistan.

Farrage also interviewed Mohammed Khatami, President of Iran, 1997-2005. Khatami admitted that the US encouraged Iran to launch a nuclear programme during the time of the US backed Shah and supplied Iran with material to build its nuclear reactor.

He also revealed he didn't believe the US would strike Iran's nuclear facilities because in his words, "America learned from its illegal invasion of Iraq that when it attacks a country unjustifiably, it spends billions of taxpayer's dollars and in return all it sees is the corpses of American youth."

Farrage also interviewed German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder where he claimed current Chancellor Angela Merkel is more successful as the leader of Germany because she's benefiting from the reforms he implemented during his terms. After five years as the Anchor and Producer of Business Arabia which aired internationally on CNBC World in the US, Canada and South America, CNBC Europe, CNBC Asia and CNBC Pakistan, Farrage has moved to Dubai One TV where she is the anchor and English news editor of Emirates News.
