During the meeting, Al Mheiri said that the COVID-19 pandemic did not stop the Abu Dhabi Chamber from performing its duties in supporting businesses. "On the contrary, we were able to go on providing our services and holding to ensure the growth of businesses. In addition, we are holding virtual meetings to sign agreements and extending bridges using modern technologies," he said.

We are completely confident in our wise leadership. Thanks to their directives and the joint work with our partners we will overcome these challenges and turn them into real opportunities for a more prosperous future," Al Mheiri added.
