Bahraini businessman gets key Asia-Pacific role

MANAMA, July 8, 2017

Association of Indonesian Professional Engineers, one of the largest businessmen gatherings in the Asia-Pacific region, has appointed pioneer Bahraini businessman Ahmed Ateyatalla Al Hujairi as its chief representative in GCC and Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.

One of the biggest professional communities in the districts, the Association of Indonesian Professional Engineers, said Al Hujairi's role within the organisation will be to discover more mutual opportunities across various business sectors as well as encourage trade exchange and organise relevant business activities.

Al Hujairi’s nomination owes to his wealth of experience in diverse commercial sectors, including IT and communications, event organisation, and his training across several countries such as Bahrain, UAE and Oman, stated its chairman Raswari Anuaras.

"We wanted Bahrain to be our point of reference to energise the Asian partnership with the Mena region as whole, thanks to the modern economic legislations and advanced investment environment that the Kingdom enjoys. It's also close to one of the most important regional markets, Saudi Arabia," remarked Anuaras.

These factors have played a significant role in our selection of Al Hujairi," he added.

On the appointment, Al Hujairi stressed that through his new position, he would further consolidate trade relations with the Asia-Pacific region.

"The region represents a strong economic gathering, as it includes a number of the biggest global economies such as China, India, Japan, Malaysia. Moreover, it incorporates countries with large markets, including Pakistan and Indonesia, and rich countries such as Brunei, where the population of Pacific countries accounts for nearly 40 per cent of the world's population," remarked Al Hujairi.

"We are witnessing major shifts in the global economic power centres, so we should be proactive in establishing close business relationships with emerging economies," noted Al Hujairi.

The foucs will be on the new mission to support trade orientations of Bahrain and the GCC as well as diversifying their trading partners, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
