A thirty-five strong delegation of British Muslims are attending World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) Summit in Kuwait. The summit from April 29 to May 1 is the fourth to be held to promote partnership between Muslim and non-Muslim businessmen by forging cooperation across borders among entrepreneurs in Muslim majority countries and those in other countries. Sir Iqbal Sacranie, former secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) leading the UK delegation, said the forum will serve as a “hub for potential business collaboration between different countries.” The British delegation, which is attending with others from more than 60 countries, has been arranged by the MCB’s Business and Economic Committee and includes businessmen, bankers, lawyers and analysts. Current MCB secretary general Mohammed Abdul Bari said he was heartened by the diversity and individual accomplishments of the young professionals representing Britain at the WIEF this year. The delegation is being supported by the government’s UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) organisation, which promotes British companies doing business in international markets.
