Dear Friends of IIF,
Assalamu’alaikum.
I have some unwelcome news that has come at this late stage in our preparations. Although this is definitely NOT what we had planned, I’m afraid there has been a “situation” that is beyond our control. We are currently left with no other option but to move the whole event from UAE to Yemen , where there is a planned Malaysian-Yemeni Exhibition/Conference (“Industry – Yemen ’s Future” Conf.&Exhib.) which involves other Malaysian and Arab exhibitors. In fact, former Prime Minister of Malaysia Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is also scheduled to deliver his talk during the event. In order not to miss out on the B2B networking in Dubai , we will still take the trip from Yemen to Dubai on the 25th December, specifically for the Business Matching.
The new IIF2008 will be in Al-Mukalla, Yemen and the date of the entire event will move forward one day to the new date: 22nd to 24th December (23rd to 25th December, originally). We regret this unfortunate turn of events but STILL count on your support for the noble aims of the IIF and look forward to your participation. I extend my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused. “We plan & God plans…. and God’s plan is the best of plans!”.
