               ABU DHABI, 20th February, 2024 (WAM) -- The Ministry of Economy and the Abu
               Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) have announced the Abu Dhabi

               Department of Tourism and Culture (DTC), the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC),
               ADNEC Services, Etihad Airways, and Etisalat (e&) as their Strategic Partners for the

               hosting of the 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) of the World Trade Organization,
               which takes place in Abu Dhabi between 26-29 February.


               Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade and MC13 Chair,
               welcomed the agreements with the leading national economic players, underlining their

               role in the smooth delivery of such an important global meeting. “MC13 is an historic
               event that will bring together the world’s trade ministers to demonstrate their shared

               commitment to inclusive, sustainable supply chains. It is important that we are able to
               create a conducive environment for negotiations that will help advance the future of

               trade.”


               “Not only will the combined expertise and professionalism of, DTC, ITC, ADNEC
               Services, Etihad and e& enable us to do so, but it will also underline Abu Dhabi’s status

               as a world-class destination to live, work and meet,” Al Zeyoudi noted.

               Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADDED, said, “Hosting the 13th Ministerial

               Conference (MC13) of the World Trade Organization aligns with our strategic objectives
               to solidify the UAE’s status as a leading global hub for trade, business, and investment.

               We believe that having national champions on board as partners is essential to
               convening a successful global meeting. Their commitment to advancing the UAE's

               economic diversification, fostering growth, and promoting international engagement is
               instrumental in shaping a prosperous future.”
