Polish-Arab Economic Forum meets in Poznań

During the first day of the Polish-Arab Economic Forum in Poznań, ambassadors from several Arab countries including Yemen, Egypt and Morocco, were encouraging Polish entrepreneurs to look for business partners and subcontractors in their countries in relation to investments in Iraq. They justified this by the fact that it is more rational to employ people who both understand the Arab mentality and are cheaper than other nations. Representatives of Iraq assured participants that the province of Iraq awaiting investments is much more peaceful than the others. "Even bearing in mind the risk, we have to be present in Iraq. Currently we are far behind the diplomacy and governments of Turkey and Korea," said Jacek Pleskot from the currently being created Polish-Iraq Chamber of Commerce. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B2) M.M.
