Ahmad Hassan Al Mansouri, ADCCI director-general, signed the agreement with Ravender Ray, the programme's regional representative, recently.

Al Mansouri said that adopting this international programme comes in the framework of the ADCCI's plan to support the private sector and to create special international educational and training programmes.

"The application of the internationally-known programme is expected to serve the chamber's plans and strategies that aim at developing the services offered to its members and businessmen and linking it to their actual needs," Al Mansouri said, adding that developing communication and leadership skills is considered to be a top priority for any leading company.

Al Mansouri said that the programme aims at supporting the society's needs and requirements, so that it may add knowledge and experience to all those working for different government bodies, local companies, private and official institutions.
