The President of the Republic Zoran Milanović met today with representatives of the “UAE-Croatia Business Club”, a business non-profit initiative established with the aim of promoting economic ties between Croatia and the United Arab Emirates.

The President of the “UAE-Croatia Business Club”, Neven Roginić, presented the Club’s achievements to date, along with plans and activities being carried out as part of efforts to establish a Croatian Business Council in Dubai. The process began in April this year under the auspices of Dubai Chambers. The initiative aims to create a lasting and institutional platform for cooperation between Croatian and Emirati companies, with the support of relevant authorities in both countries.

The interest in developing economic cooperation between Croatia and the UAE, Roginić said, was confirmed by his meeting with the UAE Minister of Economy, Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, who expressed open support for Croatian companies and proposed a joint organization of the arrival of an Emirati investment delegation to Croatia this year. During the meeting, Roginić also emphasized the importance of cooperation with the Consul General of the Republic of Croatia to Dubai, Jasmin Devlić, as well as the continued support of the UAE Ambassador to Croatia Ahmed Alattar.

Roginić said that high-level support provides additional encouragement for further initiatives and the building of economic bridges between the two countries.

Also attending the meeting was the “UAE-Croatia Business Club“ associate, Ida Aleksandra Jovanović. Alongside President Milanović were the Special Adviser to the President for the Economy, Velibor Mačkić, and the Adviser to the President for Foreign and European Policy, Neven Pelicarić.
