KUCHING: The World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) has emerged as an important platform in the business landscape, and in particular, an excellent platform for knowledge sharing and discussion on critical development issues and for seeking and building business and institutional partnerships.

Islamic Development Bank (IDB) vice president Dr Mohamed Nouri Jouini in his special address during the opening session of the 13th WIEF emphasised on the genuine engagement of the IDB group with WIEF.

“I am here to demonstrate the genuine engagement of the IDB group with WIEF and our commitment to supporting its goal to become even more effective and relevant to the needs of- and expectations of business and citizens in our countries and to be recognised as such by everyone,” he said today.

“We look forward to working with the WIEF in true partnership mode towards the achievement of this goal and advancing our purposes.”

Nouri also called on participants of the forum, highlighting that IDB wants to work with them and engage with them in a joint endeavor and ultimately as partners on actions and activities in a number of areas such as employment, education, innovation, poverty, ecological transition, health, women, capacity building and business development among others.

“This goes in line with the vast new vision to be not only a bank of development but also to be a bank of developers for which we have undertaken a major transformation in our organisation.”
