The 2011 International Business Awards will be hosted in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on 11 October, 2011 under the patronage of H.E. Sheikha Lubna Al Qassimi, Minister for Foreign Trade, United Arab Emirates.
In its overall frame, the UAE foreign trade policy is derived from the philosophy of economic openness to the world and positive interaction with trade partners. It is based on the principles of parity and mutual interests. Thanks to this philosophy, the UAE has mounted to a position of regional leader and an eminent pioneer in the proven economic openness, which has earned a universal recognition. Moreover, UAE has set an outstanding example-to-follow of economic and trade policy that has overcome the restrictions of its natural and material resources. In a record time, UAE has reinforced its commercial and economic ties with the sisterly Arab Countries through the Arab Free Trade Zone Agreement and a number of bilaterally signed trade agreements with some Arab Countries.
