On 20 September 2022, the Arab-Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce hosted in their premises a roundtable meeting with HE Mr. Abdulla Al Doseri, Ambassador of Bahrain in Brussels, and a select group of Belgian and Luxembourg representatives and companies.

This two-hour roundtable gave the attendees the opportunity to extend their knowledge on Bahrain, which is the 8th largest economy in the world, and what makes it an ideal location for investment but also as a springboard to the MENA region.

What is more, Bahrain is building a metro network that connects throughout Bahrain to the other GCC countries
