AAAID Board of Directors held its first meeting for the year 2010

 


 The Board of Directors of AAAID held its first meeting for the year 2010 in the period 2-4 March 2010 in Khartoum/ Sudan. The meeting was chaired by H.E. Mr. Ali Bin Saeed Al-Sharhan, President of AAAID.
The meeting was started by a speech delivered by H.E. the President of AAAID, as this meeting was the first meeting of the Board to be held in Khartoum for over 9 years. Selection of Khartoum for this meeting came according to a suggestion by Mr. Al-Sharhan who is the new President for AAAID who took over the current presidency term since about a year. In his speech, the President affirmed that AAAID is the first investment pot at which the founders and shareholders of AAAID are looking for achieving food security in the Arab region. He stressed the vitality of providing additional financial support to AAAID to enable doubling its contribution to food security. He also emphasized the importance of AAAID projects in Sudan, pointing to the fact that the selection of Sudan by Arab leaders for the location of AAAID main office was based on the abundance of natural resources with which the Sudan is endowed, and that such resources qualify Sudan to play a vital role in boosting food security for the Arab nation. He stated that AAAID profits for the year 2009 amounted to about $48 million, compared to losses in 2008. (Full version of the speech – in Arabic).
