The meeting was attended by Abdul Aziz Al Shamsi, Assistant Director-General for Communication and Business Sector at SCCI, and Dr. Fatima Khalifa Al Muqarrab, Director of International Relations Department at SCCI, along with several officials from both sides.

During the meeting, both sides discussed ways to strengthen economic cooperation and expand partnership channels between the business communities and private sectors of the two countries, with the aim of fostering growth and realizing shared success.
