LONDON: A Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) delegation led by chairman Sameer Nass took part in the Bahrain Opportunities Forum held at the Palace of Westminster in London.
BCCI first deputy chairman Khalid Mohammed Najeebi and board members Ahmed Sabah Al Salloum, Abdulhakim Al Shammari and Batoul Dadabai also attended along with British MPs, officials and businessmen.
It was organised by the Diplomat Business Club, a UK-based networking forum that connects diplomats, business leaders and eminent members of society, in association with the Economic Development Board (EDB) and the BCCI.
The Diplomat Business Club is an initiative of former Pakistani Ambassador to Bahrain Javed Malik, who is also its current president.
Mr Malik hosted the forum under the theme ‘Investment Opportunities in Bahrain First’.
Mr Nass stressed the importance of the forum which aims to encourage and highlight investment opportunities in Bahrain as a strategic gateway to the GCC markets. He said the Diplomat Business Club would hold the forum twice a year – in Bahrain and in another country.
The next edition of the forum will be held later this year in Bahrain.
