In the beginning, I was wondering whether I should accept it or not. I am thirty six years old, I still have a lot of things to achieve in life.

I decided to accept it upon hearing that truly it was really an opportunity to meet such young and distinguished minds and future leaders both here in the United States and abroad.

US-ARAB Forum
Nevertheless, I am pleased that through the satellite link you were able to illustrate how close the Arab world and the United States are in the modern and inter-connected world. I would like to start by thanking the organisers of this forum, the US Arab Chamber of Commerce, for their outstanding efforts in putting together such a fantastic gathering. Ahmed Shabbani, Sam Hamdan, Nasser Baidoun, have, I know, worked extremely hard to make it happen. I would also like to thank all of you for taking the time to support the forum, an event that we feel is more important today than ever before, particularly, in light of the current economic and political situation.

Official Visit to Singapore
It is indeed an honour and a pleasure to be here today in Singapore and to have been accorded such generous and gracious hospitality, for which I am truly grateful. It has long been my desire to visit Singapore and to witness first-hand the country’s tremendous achievements since its independence in 1965; achievements which have assured Singapore’s place as a centre of peace, stability and prosperity in the region, while illustrating clearly that geographical size should not be a barrier to economic success.
