Representing what are arguably the most influential countries in the GCC, these Honorable Ambassadors along with their senior commercial officers will share their views on topics including:
  • Is the current socio-economic climate leading the GCC countries to find more common ground?
  • What steps are the countries taking to face challenges as a collective force?
  • Is the decline in oil prices leading to reforms that will encourage additional growth in the non-hydrocarbon private sector?
  • What are the challenges for U.S. companies looking to do business in the GCC and how can they be overcome?
