Premier and Minister of Finance David Burt travelled to the United Arab Emirates for the Investopia 2023 event.
A Government spokesperson said, “Premier David Burt travelled to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates to attend the Investopia 2023 at the invitation of H.E. Abdullah Bin Touq Al Marri, the Minister of Economy for the United Arab Emirates [UAE].
“At the conference, the Premier met with the UAE Minister of Economy, the Chair of Abu Dhabi Global Markets, H.E. Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, the Minister of State for Foreign Trade, H.E Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi and had an audience with H.E. Khaldoon Al Mubarak Managing Director and CEO of Mubadala.
“Accompanying the Premier and Minister of Finance on this trip was Mr Barclay Simmons, Chairman of the Bermuda Public Funds Investment Committee.
“On the second day of the two-day conference, the Premier delivered a keynote speech entitled ‘Bermuda-the Jewel of the Atlantic’ where he spoke of his desire to strengthen ties between Bermuda and the UAE while highlighting the similarities between the two jurisdictions.”
Premier David Burt said: “It was an honour to be invited to Investopia 2023 by the UAE Minister of the Economy, His Excellency Abdullah Bin Touq Al Marri, and to share Bermuda’s story with leaders in the region as well as to highlight the many similarities between our countries.
“The conference has been beneficial in raising the profile of investment opportunities in Bermuda from this region, whether it is insurance, renewable energy, hospitality or infrastructure. I look forward to deepening the relationships between the UAE and Bermuda.”
Premier Burt will leave Abu Dhabi tomorrow morning to return to Bermuda on Sunday.
Will you please stop wasting our money.
Burts gone there to open new bank accounts!!
Amnesty International has a LOT to say about the United Arab Emirates and it is not good. What does it say about Burt wanting closer ties with this country? $$$$
Bermuda doesn’t fare well with Amnesty either.
Your back yard is filthy
Dodgy authoritarian regime. Check!
Squash human rights. Check!
Sell Bermuda to the highest bidder. Check!
He’s desperate.
No words can describe the oba/UBP. Everyone just laughs now. Jarion is so fed up with you LOSERS he’s going to leave you now or later. Yes it will happen!
You have to do better than that Billy. This isn’t about the OBA, this isn’t a playground.
The issue is a Government falling apart while a leader holidays with tyrants.
Maybe to get bulbs.
Shameful. We don’t want their money.
Also what is he doing there?? Families aren’t eating and he’s flying first class to this??
Time for Burt to be replaced.
The vast majority voted for this, they want this.
The UAE is one place we should not be getting closer to. Does Burt do any homework? What next, the Chinese so we become a part of their Empire like Barbados and Jamaica? Thank goodness we are still a part of the UK to protect ourselves from such stupid moves. They must have a connection to Gencom and see a fool to be played and taken advantage of.
