Head of Dubai Arrives in Baku on Official Visit
On April 1 on an official visit to Azerbaijan arrived the Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Emir of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed.
Today he visited the Alley of Honor and Alley of Martyrs.
Nothing is reported about the program of the visit of the author of the Dubai miracle. However, the very fact of the visit says that it will be followed by serious business activities. This conclusion is based on the fact that one of the richest people in the Middle East can not waste time on "tours" without concrete and significant results.
It is noteworthy that last week Azerbaijan was visited by plenty of relatives of Sheikh Mohammed headed by his son and other relatives. The aim of this visit was hunting with falcons here.
It can be expected that by the end of the visit, the ruler of Dubai somehow will connect to large investment projects in Azerbaijan. -0-
