UAE's resilience under pressure

from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8

As the conflict enters its fourth week, we take a closer look at the UAE’s resilience and global reputation with His Excellency Badr Jafar, the UAE’s Special Envoy for Business and Philanthropy. Construction remains one of the key pillars of the UAE’s growth. But how is the sector really holding up? We ask Chris Seymour of Mace Middle East. A green corridor between Oman and Dubai is now in place to help keep trade flowing, offering an alternative route for cargo and easing some of the strain. Dr Lijo John from Heriot-Watt University Dubai gives us details. And as home learning continues, we continue to hear from schools how they are managing the remote setup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
