Abu Dhabi Council for Economic Development (ADCED) received a student delegation from SMU and NTU which toured the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States as part of their Business Study Mission Middle East (BSM). The mission is aimed to strengthen relationships between the GCC States and Singapore through the study of the business and cultural environment in these countries. Speaking on behalf of the Singapore delegation, SMU Associate Professor of Strategic Management (Education) Caroline Yeoh remarked: “SMU President Professor Arnoud De Meyer and Provost Professor Rajendra Srivastava would like to express their deepest appreciation to H.E. Fahad Saeed Al Raqbani, ADCED Director General for hosting our students. We thank ADCED for being supportive of SMU’s study missions, and open in their sharing with our students. We know that our relationship with ADCED will be a mirror of the relations between Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, and we look forward to future partnerships and collaborations.”
