The day began with a traditional Arabic welcome, including refreshments and an introduction to Invest NI’s work in Arabic-speaking countries. Several guest speakers addressed all those present. Among the speakers were Dr Vicky Kell, Invest NI’s Director of Trade and Minister Arlene Foster, Minister for the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment.
