| Iranian Business Council enters the eighteenth anniversary of its formation at a time when the international financial crisis has also left a strong impact on our host country, UAE.
The stagnation in the property market and the stock exchange has also affected the trade and commerce markets. At the same time trade embargos imposed by Western nations on Iranian banks as well as non acceptance of Letters of Credits from these banks by Western banks have brought additional pressure on Iranian industries and traders working in UAE.
Under these very difficult circumstances it is incumbent upon all of us to cooperate more with each other and be more supportive in order to come out of this crisis unscathed.
IBC is a place where its members, traders and industrialists both, can assist each other in an atmosphere of friendship and sincerity to weather the current crisis and be ready for the next era of productivity and prosperity.
Considering the current sensitive circumstances I implore you to:
1 – Pay special attention to the financial needs of your IBC more than ever.
2 – Encourage the newly arrived Iranian traders to UAE who are not members of IBC to join the Council. The more members we have, the stronger we become.
3 – To keep IBC as an independent, non-political, non-profit and democratic organization for all Iranian traders and industrialists. It has been that way since its inception and I hope you will keep it that way in the future.
The Board of Directors of IBC who works on a voluntary basis will strive ever more to create and enhance better communication, cooperation and assistance among the members. The Board of directors will do its utmost to keep Iran’s name and Iranians’ reputation in the highest respect in our host country, in the Persian Gulf and all other parts of the world.
I shake your hands firmly.
We search nothing from friends but friendship,
There is never any regret in the world of love.
Sincerely,
Hadi Motameni
Chairman, Iranian Business Council- Dubai
