Island and Dubai forge new links

Representatives of the Isle of Man's Department of Economic Development have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with their opposite numbers in Dubai.

Colin Kniveton, Chief Executive at DED, visited the Gulf state last week for a series of meetings with His Excellency Sami Gamzi, the Director General of the Dubai Department of Economic Development.

Discussions took place on a wide range of topics aimed at broadening business, economic and trade ties between the two countries.

DED Minister John Shimmin welcomed the signing of the agreement, saying he was confident it would bring tangible benefits to both countries.
