Uriel Lynn, President of the Federation of the Israeli Chambers of Commerce noted that, “The agreement with Abu Dhabi’s Chamber of Commerce, the largest and leading Emirate in the UAE, is a significant millstone in the ongoing developing relationship between both parties. This important step paves the way for additional collaborations in various sectors. It is also a great opportunity to launch a platform for Israeli export to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia".
