The Founding Chairman of the Al Habtoor Group, Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor welcomed Shlomi Fogel, Co-Owner, Chairman and CEO of Ampa Group at the AHG headquarters in Dubai.
The meeting took place at the same time as the signing of the Abraham Accords Peace Agreement signed in Washington DC between the UAE and Israel on the 15September 2020, which will mark a new era of normalised relations between the two nations.
“I have been looking forward to this day for a very long time. I have always believed that Emiratis and Israelis have a lot in common. Both peoples are business-oriented and have relied on human talent and ambition more than their countries’ natural resources to build robust, innovative economies, said Al Habtoor.
“The opportunities that this deal will present are great for both sides. I am confident this will open up new doors and lead to stronger economies, and closer cultural ties between the peoples,” he added.
Following the meeting with Fogel, the AHG Chairman revealed his plans to open a representative office in Israel, a further confirmation of his belief in the prospects this new agreement presents.
“Since the announcement of the normalisation of relationships between the UAE and Israel, we have received a large number of inquiries for collaboration in several fields, ranging from AI and technology, to agriculture, hospitality and trading. The possibilities are endless for both sides in our diversified fields and new ones, and we want to be present to grasp them,” said Al Habtoor.
