This is the way ahead, this is the strategy we define as crucial for the future. We can help this process by removing the institutional obstacles to this natural development and providing an effective legal, financial and regulatory framework for business.

To conclude let me restate that our countries share a common vision and approach on many of the significant issues and challenges of our times. Deeper integration and closer cooperation are at the heart of the strategic partnership between Italy and UAE. This partnership will, for the first time, be officially enshrined in the text of the Joint Declaration which provides official recognition that our relationship has moved to a new level. It represents a commitment to our future which I will have the honor to sign later today with Vice President and Prime Minister His Highness Shaikh Mohamed Bin Rashid al Maktoum.

Thank you.
