The United Arab Emirates (UAE) are showing a growing interest in Italy. \u201cThe Emirati authorities have been pressing for a visit to Italy by the ruler of the country, Crown Prince Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahayan. He wishes to establish direct relations with our premier and strategic links with the country as a whole\u201d. Giorgio Starace, the Italian Ambassador to the Emirates, was speaking to PEI News during an event illustrating investment opportunities in Italy to the UAE press. The event was moderated by the Farnesina\u2019s Principal Director for the Internationalisation of the Country System and Territorial Autonomies, Vincenzo De Luca.<\/P>

Emirates are Italy\u2019s leading trading partner in the Arab world<\/STRONG><\/P>

As De Luca explained, \u201cWe\u2019re promoting this initiative with our Embassy in Abu Dhabi to illustrate to the Emirati media the great potential in bilateral relations, and the sp<\/A>ecial relationship that\u2019s developing between our two countries over EXPO 2015 in Milan and EXPO 2020 in Dubai\u201d. Ambassador Starace added, \u201cThe Emirates are Italy\u2019s leading trading partner in the Arab world. This is a country with not great, but huge, potential. It complements our market and has good air links. \u2018System Italy\u2019 and our embassy are working to provide a one-stop-shop for Italian businesses. We put them in touch with local actors to establish partnerships or foster investment\u201d. <\/P>

Emirates\u2019 interest in Italy is growing<\/STRONG><\/P>
\n

And the Emirates\u2019 interest in Italy is growing. \u201cWe\u2019ve been spending a lot of time on attracting investment by the big Emirati financial groups. This is a good time to do so because the recession period is over, while prices are still good\u201d. As Starace concluded, \u201cThe result is that the sovereign funds are showing keen interest in the Italian market, and even keener interest in our executive\u201d. <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The United Arab Emirates (UAE) are showing a growing interest in Italy. \u201cThe Emirati authorities have been pressing for a visit to Italy by the ruler of the country, Crown Prince Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahayan.
