I need to tell that all of that is very strange. We have two companies in UAE and one in Portugal only with the intention of help Portuguese companies and people to export and/or establish a company in UAE. We don't have any support of our government and we are never informed about anything that Portugal do with the UAE. We know because we read the Gulf newspapers and we have partners of Royal Family that know that things.
We are working with very big companies from Portugal and Europe and we have good contacts in UAE... but our government don't care about it. We are trying to get a resident Visa for a potential investor in Portugal and we don't receive any answer from our government. That investor have investments in Egypt, Libanon, Austria, Germany and more, but the Portuguese Government don't need that. We invite Mr. Mohamed Hassan and H.H. Sheikha Dr. Hind Abdul Aziz Al Qasimi (Chairwoman of Emirates Business Women Council) to be our partners in a Portuguese company (like we are in Dubai) and they accept... but the Portuguese Government don't need that.
We did that blog to show more about UAE and Portugal... Unforntly I can show more good things in UAE than in my country. I will do everything to change it and I promise here: If I change something I will tell by the same strong way like I'm doing now.
