MANAMA: Active Leaders for Women Advancement in the Near East (Alwane) Bahrain Society has urged businesswomen to take part in Sarajevo Al Halal Exhibition hosted by Sarajevo Business Forum (SBF) in Bosnia from September 27 to 29.
Society chairman Ammar Awachi said that participation in such forums allows Bahraini entrepreneurs to play a greater role in developing economic and invest relations between Bahrain and Bosnia, as well as the social and cultural role in strengthening fraternal relations between the two countries.
Ms Awachi said that Alwane Bahrain Society is to raise participation of women in various economic activities, as it is their duty to guide the pioneers and businesswomen wishing to take part in the expo to benefit from facilities and services provided by the Bahrain-Bosnia and Herzegovina Association for Friendship and Business Society (BBHS) headed by Jawad Al Hawaj. She praised the role of BBHS in promoting tourism, economic, cultural and social co-operation between the two countries, and its efforts to support the goal of launching a direct flight between them.
“The Balkan countries generally fall within the framework of emerging markets that offer unexplored investment opportunities to date. Bosnia and Herzegovina is the safe and suitable environment for the investment of Bahraini businessmen. Their government has taken many steps in this regard, including exempting Bahrainis from visa requirements and supporting Bahraini businessmen and investors through laws that support, stimulate and multiply investment, “Ms Awachi said.
