During a ceremony in Dubai that commemorates the 40th Anniversary of Independence of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit stated that the Caribbean country is in the last steps of preparation for setting its Embassy in the UAE. The Embassy, which is expected to inaugurate next year in Abu Dhabi, will be accompanied by a Consulate General in Dubai.
“The Citizenship by Investment industry has experienced a boom in the last few years, especially across the Middle East”
Honourable Prime Minister of Dominica Mr Roosevelt Skerrit was the chief guest at the seminar followed by His Excellency Emmanuel Nanthan, Head of Citizenship by Investment Unit of the Commonwealth of Dominica who stated:
“High demand and interest from the UAE significantly contributed to the UAE-Dominica bilateral relations, which lead the Dominican government to establish Dominica Embassy in Abu Dhabi and Dominica Consulate General in Dubai,” Skerrit was quoted as saying. “The diplomatic mission is under the formation process and will be operational soon.”
The Citizenship by Investment industry has experienced a boom in the last few years, especially across the Middle East, and the UAE has witnessed this better than any other place.
At the special reception held at the Kempinski Palm Jumeirah on December 1st, Prime Minister Skerrit stated that the Ambassador to the UAE will be experienced diplomat Hubert J. Charles, Dominica’s recent Ambassador to the United States and the Organization of American States. Agreements are being finalized for the formal presentation of credentials to the UAE Government.
