It is now more important than ever to keep the momentum and further cement the trust that EMAC delivers what it promises,” he added.
“EMAC is a great example of how the UAE is continuously looking for ways to ensure that the country contributes towards the seamless flow of international trade and in particular the maritime sector. By participating at this IBA Rome conference, institutes like EMAC, reiterate the commitment that the UAE made to international trade partners. We wish the EMAC team every success for the future”, said His Excellency Saqr Nasser Al Raisi, UAE Ambassador to Italy, in a meeting with the EMAC delegation.
