     I thank the Institute of Directors, India for organizing this important annual convention. I fully support the premise of this event: that the well-established and continually expanding links between private business, governments, and people of India and the United Arab Emirates are extremely important. I take great hope and comfort from the special relationship between our two countries.

Today, building an effective business network is vital.

Annually, IOD conducts a large number of workshops, seminars, national & international conventions on current boardroom challenges, covering themes ranging from corporate governance, sustainability, leadership, business excellence, corporate social responsibility, environment & climate change. To make India a preferred investment destination, annual outreach programmes, global business meets and workshops are also conducted, not only in different parts of the country, but also global business hubs like London, Dubai & Singapore since 2003 to promote global exchange of ideas & networking and also to resonate with the voice of the boardroom.

The ability to successfully drive and deliver the change agenda is, what sets IOD apart.
