The meeting will boost the bilateral ties and economic cooperation between Ras Al Khaimah and Georgia, he added, highlighting the importance of enabling business leaders to discuss available investment opportunities in both countries.
Al Nuaimi further added that the emirate has the potential to attract tourists and will implement several significant tourism projects in the coming period, noting that it has more than 6,000 factories producing high-quality products.
“We aim to organise the Ras Al Khaimah International SME Fair this year, whose first edition was held for the first time in 2019 and was attended by 220 companies from over 20 countries,” Al Nuaimi said while inviting the Georgian business community to participate in the event.

He also highlighted the meeting’s importance in boosting the cooperation between Georgia and Ras Al Khaimah and exploring mutual investment opportunities while urging Emirati investors and business owners to visit Georgia and learn about available opportunities. Georgia’s tourism sector is among its fastest-growing sectors, he added.
