The development of the UAE in just five decades, from a loose federation of trading posts on the Arabian Gulf to a global economic powerhouse about to celebrate its 50th jubilee is nothing short of breathtaking growth. There are, though, no plans to slow down, no sense of resting on any laurels.
It’s a point that Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade and Minister in charge of Talent Attraction and Retention, is keen to reassert during an exclusive sit-down with Arabian Business.
And he has a lot of ground to cover, from the ‘Projects of the 50’ and its various plans for economic and social improvement, through to the raft of trade negotiations his department has launched with Indonesia, India and South Korea. Trade and talent will, it seems, be providing much of the impetus for the next five decades of the UAE’s success.
