The Minister of Foreign Affairs and External Trade, Hon. Jeremiah Manele met with a group of prospective investors from the United Arab Emirates on Sunday 3 July in Dubai after returning from the UN Conference on Oceans in Lisbon.

In attendance were Dubai business entrepreneurs Mr. Alessandro Rosso, Emirati national Mr. Mohamed Alblooshi, and Ms. Dina Mustafa.

The presence of our Solomon Islands Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai has generated a lot of interest with more foreign investors realizing the potential investment opportunities that the Solomon Islands has to offer.
