The Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce

T he Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce (AICC) was founded in 1987 to promote and support the growth and development of trade and commercial relations between the Republic of Ireland and the Arab countries. The Chamber was established under the auspices of the

General Union of Arab Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, with its headquarters in Beirut, and is affiliated with the Arab League and Chambers Ireland.

The AICC offers a range of specialist services to support Irish exporters in carrying out business with the Arab countries, and to help Arab enterprises carry out business in Ireland.

We fulfil our mission through the delivery of a range of unique services to Irish exporting companies, and through the provision of information, advice, introductions, connections and business leads to companies in Ireland and in the Arab markets.

Collectively, the Arab markets are the most important trading block for indigenous Irish exporters outside of Europe and North America, and their significance grows year by year. They represent attractive markets for Irish exporters for various reasons: they import many of the products and services which Irish companies can supply competitively; they have considerable resources to fund their imports; their rising population causes demand to grow year after year; and, geographically, they are not far away.

All Irish exporters to the Arab markets are clients of our Chamber, and they rely on our unique services to underpin their business in the region. Key among these services are: the provision of our AICC Certificates of Origin as required by the Arab countries; the Certification and Legalisation of all types of commercial documents, regulatory and corporate affairs documentation and personal documentation; and the delivery of a technical translation service (all languages covered).

Our Chamber also organises various events throughout the year to welcome visiting delegations, to deliver important information, to mark special occasions and to facilitate networking and interaction between our members and clients.

CEO INTRO

Over 2018, the work of the Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce continued to support greater cohesion and participation in international trade between Ireland and the 20 countries under our umbrella, assisting Irish businesses navigating the variety of economic landscapes, languages, and local regulations.

While Ireland’s top three largest export markets in the Arab World remain constant—Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt—there has been some reshuffling in rankings among the middle of the top ten.

Iraq and Kuwait have jumped up the leaderboard in their demand for Irish exports during 2018, outpacing the 2017 positions of Morocco and Algeria. Iraq and Kuwait both showed strong increases in growth in exports from Ireland, with figures of 15% and 10% respectively.

Out of top three largest export markets—Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt—only Egypt showed a growth in demand for Irish exports during the year, with a moderate increase of 3% on 2017 figures. There was also a moderate rise in the amount of imports into Ireland from Egypt, underlining a steadily building trading relationship.

However it is in some of the smaller, but growing markets where the biggest percentage growth leaps were recorded. There was a phenomenal 360% increase in exports to Libya year-on-year from 2017 to 2018, encompassing various trade categories, including dairy, toiletries, machinery and data processing equipment. Libya showed the greatest increase in value of exports and also as a percentage growth.

Strong trade ties between Ireland and Libya hark back to the early 1980s, when the the north African nation was the State’s single-biggest market for live cattle, an export market worth over £70 million in the 1990s until the BSE scare halted EU beef exports to the region. Live exports of cattle to Libya from Ireland have been increasing in number and regularity over the past number of years, with a number of Irish exporting companies involved.

The next greatest percentage increases in exports from Ireland were to Syria (54%), Bahrain (48%) and Sudan (41%).

Notably, during Bord Bia’s Marketplace International conference in April 2018, Musgrave Group announced an export deal worth €5 million with Alosra, the Kingdom of Bahrain’s leading high-end supermarket. Under the terms of the agreement, Musgrave will supply a selection of products from its SuperValu and Musgrave Excellence

Own Brand range, as well as a number of Irish brands including products from its Food Academy programme, which is run in partnership with Bord Bia and the Local Enterprise Offices, catering to the growing demand in Bahrain for cereals, jam, biscuits and healthy snack foods.

The growth of the food product category is being strongly supported—just recently, three of the United Arab Emirate’s most influential food writers travelled around Ireland in July 2019, visiting Irish food producers who export to the Middle East.

Sudan, which exhibited a healthy increase in appetite for Irish exports, is enjoying a growing economy and attracting investment from other countries over the last number of years, as the possibility of investment in areas such as agriculture, infrastructure, gold mining and tourism could be opening up there for the first time in decades. The World Bank Group’s latest ‘Doing Business’ report for Sudan notes that the country has made a number of regulatory reforms, improving the business climate over the past decade.

Over the 2018 period, some notable growth in imports to Ireland also occurred, with the value of imports from Algeria, Saudi Arabia and UAE making considerable leaps. Ireland imported over €107m worth of goods from Algeria in 2018, up from €65.25m in 2017, with growth in petroleum products and fertilisers categories boosting the figures. From the UAE, the value of imports to Ireland grew to €76.1m in 2018, up from just under €25m in 2017, with increases across a broad range of categories, and from Saudi Arabia, imports were up to €18.35m in 2018 from €8.3m in 2017, with the equipment and machinery categories flourishing.

Looking forward to greater understanding and interest between Ireland and Arab countries, we welcomed the announcement in July 2019 of a ground-breaking agreement between Trinity College Dublin and the Al-Maktoum Foundation to create the “Al-Maktoum Centre for Middle Eastern Studies in Trinity College Dublin”. It will include four new academic staff and increase the University’s scholarship in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic Studies.

Furthermore, I am very pleased to welcome Mr Enda Corneille, Country Manager for Emirates, as the new Chairman of the Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce. With the airline carrying over 50 tonnes of Irish exports eastwards every day, his experience and understanding brings new and valuable insight to our work. <

The Arab-Irish Business Forum

The third Arab-Irish Business Forum took place at the Mansion House in Dublin on 3 October 2018. The Forum organised by the Arab-Irish Chamber of

Commerce along with Bord Bia, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Emirates and Enterprise Ireland, was a unique opportunity to gain expert analysis, insight and advice on looking beyond Europe and the US for new business opportunities. In addition to speakers from the Arab World, there were a number of presentations and panel discussions from Irish companies already doing business there.

In its third year, the Arab-Irish Business Forum attracted experts from companies and business organisations in the region. Throughout the day

expert panel’s examined the latest developments affecting the business environment in the Arab states. Topics included a discussion on the countries that offer the greatest advantage to Irish businesses, first-hand advice on how to break into these new markets, a look at new emerging markets such as Morocco, Egypt and Jordan and practical presentations from Irish companies already doing business in the Arab world.

Senior Executives from some of the Irish companies that have already expanded their business operations and interests into Arab states, as well as top executives from the region shared their unique knowledge, experience and insights through a series of presentations, case studies, panel discussions and Q&A sessions. There was

a particular emphasis on practical issues that could have a significant impact on the success of operations in the region.

With more than 450 companies already trading with the Arab World, Irish exports to the region are valued at €4.3 billion and are set to grow year-on-year across a multitude of industries, including food & drink, pharma, fintech, aviation, electronics and many more. An economic report commissioned by the Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce forecasts that Irish exports to the Arab Region will reach €9 billion over the next two decades, highlighting the fantastic opportunities available to Irish businesses willing to look east for trade growth.

This year’s Forum saw female business

leaders take centre stage. Speakers included Arab Business Woman of the Year, Souad Al Hosani and Penelope Shihab, who said that the biggest challenge she faced in business was being a woman. Allison Wood of Control Risks presentation provided political and business risk analysis for companies operating in the MENA region.

Ahmad Younis, CEO of the Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce said: “We are extremely fortunate to have secured such a strong line-up of speakers at the Conference and I think that the experiences and insight that our female speakers did prove invaluable to delegates.

“Whilst this isn’t something that we should feel the need to talk about, I think it’s important

However, we have come a long way and our speakers are testament to the fact that these barriers can and have been overcome. The Forum’s speakers gave real insight into the challenges that they face but more importantly, address Irish business leaders on the huge range of opportunities that exist across the Arab states.”

1 Ambassador to Egypt, Soha Gendi, Zahara Moufid and Jim Sheridan. The Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce were once again the lead sponsors of the fifth Dublin Arabic Film Festival. The festival curated by Oscar-nominated Film Director Jim Sheridan and filmmaker Zahara Moufid, ran from 5 – 7th of October 2018.

2 Mr. Abdulaziz Aldriss ex Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Ahmad Younis and Aideen Younis. The CEO of the Arab-Irish Chamber of Commerce, Ahmad Younis, one of the Festival’s main sponsors since its inception, expressed delight with this year’s programme and said, “DAFF is a wonderful festival as it helps to promote Arab-Irish understanding and cross-cultural communication in an effective and memorable way. We have enjoyed being part of this festival and are delighted with the mix of films chosen from various parts of the Arab world.”

3 Orla Treacy and Alice Dunne. The festival featured six of the best new movies from the Arab world. One of the key themes of this year’s Dublin Arabic Film Festival was the championing of female filmmakers, a theme that carries through many of the films. Guests at the private screening of the opening movie included several Arab Ambassadors and stars from the entertainment world, including Game of Thrones star, Liam Cunningham, Love/Hate writer Stuart Carolan, actress, Neili Conroy and director, Terry McMahon.

4 Jim Sheridan and actor Liam Cunningham. This year six films were shown over the festival at the Irish Film Institute and the Chester Beatty Library. Shirin Neshat and Shoja Azari’s drama, Looking for Oum Kulthum, about Oum Kulthum, the legendary Egyptian singer and diva, opened the festival at the IFI.

Commenting on this year’s programme, Jim Sheridan said, “Last year, the place of women in Arabic society emerged as one of the key themes of the festival, and it is once again one of the central themes of this year’s festival, with three films being directed by women. House in the Fields is brilliantly directed by Tala Hadid, while the opening film, Looking for Oum Kulthum was co- directed by Shirin Neshat. Caramel, directed by the Lebanese director and actress, Nadine Labaki is a comedy and explores the

Ross Keane, the Director of the IFI, said, “The IFI is proud to once again host the annual Dublin Arabic Film Festival. The continuing growth and popularity of this festival is a testament to the vibrant cinema of the Middle East and North Africa and remains a hugely important part of our strategic commitment to exhibiting the very best of international cinema from the four corners of the globe.” 7: R-L Enda Corneille Emirates and Raisa Corneille. President and curator of the festival, Jim Sheridan, the Oscar-nominated director of films including My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father, agreed that the festival has an important cultural and political purpose, though he revealed the original reasons for its creation where a little less highbrow: “It’s funny. A friend of mine’s son, who’s a journalist, said to me why did you start the festival? I had all these reasons about sharing cultures, but that’s just PR really, he says. “If I’m honest, Zahara came to me and said ‘We have to start an Arab film festival, and we have to get Omar Sharif to come to Dublin’, so that’s what we did. I went and had dinner with him in Paris four years ago – the best lamb in Paris, he claimed. He came to the opening edition, and here we are, four years later.”

theme of life, love and the pursuit of happiness and will be shown at the Chester Beatty Library. Now in its fifth year, the festival continues to grow and once again we will show a wonderful collection of movies at the Irish Film Institute and the Chester Beatty Library this weekend.” Ross Keane, director at the Irish Film Institute, said: “We always look forward to welcoming the Dublin Arabic Film Festival to the Irish Film Institute. It is certainly a popular event for those who are looking for some brilliant, cultural movies that will not be seen on screens in other cinemas throughout Ireland. Once again, the six movies featuring at DAFF are exceptional.”

2 Alice Leahy Homeless campaigner Alice Leahy was named as humanitarian of the year at the awards ceremony. Ms Leahy was recognised for her lifetime of dedication to helping society’s most disadvantaged people, said Pat Carey, Irish Red Cross chairman. “She has developed an unrivalled understanding of the needs of those on the margins of society and during every day of her working life she has implemented practical measures to help combat social exclusion,” Mr Carey added. Ms Leahy, director and co-founder of the Alice Leahy Trust - a support centre for homeless people - has been working to secure better services for vulnerable people since the mid-1970s. 3 Pat Hume Pat Hume, the wife of former SDLP leader John Hume, was also presented with a lifetime achievement award in recognition of her decades of public service to the people of Derry. Mrs Hume worked alongside her husband from the beginning of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. 4 Members of the Irish Defence Forces The Irish Defence Forces received a special honour in recognition of the extraordinary humanitarian work of the men and women serving as peacekeepers overseas. 2018 marks the 60th Anniversary of Ireland’s first peacekeeping deployment in 1958. Since then, Ireland has maintained the longest unbroken service on the front line of peace with over 70,000 individual tours of duty completed by the men and women of Óglaigh na hÉireann. Students at Tullamore College who campaigned to revoke

the deportation order of their friend Nonso Moujeke were also recognised at the Irish Red Cross Humanitarian Award with its Student Initiative Award. The Offaly teenager was facing deportation to Nigeria earlier this year despite having lived in Ireland since he was two years old. The Department of Justice confirmed last month that its deportation order had been revoked and the Tullamore resident had been given permission to remain in the State. In its citation, the Irish Red Cross said the students’ social media campaign and petition to reverse the decision secured more than 22,000 signatures and attracted local and national media coverage. “The school galvanised not just the local community, but their voice was heard on an international stage as they received messages of support from all over the world,” said the charity. Guardian journalist Maggie O’Kane was named as winner of the Irish Red Cross journalism excellence award for her work highlighting injustice around the world. In recent times, she has helped establish an independent charity charged with the abandonment of female genital mutilation worldwide by 2030. As well as her ongoing journalism and film work, she now trains young journalists across Africa. Aviva was named as winner of its “corporate impact category” for facilitating its employees to contribute their time and skills to local communities. 5 Sharouq Al Shayadi, Arab Irish Chamber of Commerce 6 AICC Secretary-General and CEO, Mr. Ahmad Younis with Aoibheann O’Brien and Iseult Ward from Foodcloud winners of the innovation for change award.

CelebratingWorld Arabic

Language Day

Among the distinguished speakers were His Excellency Ahmad AbdulRazek, Ambassador of the Mission of the State of Palestine and Maureen O’Sullivan TD.

Entertainment was provided by Guy Jones Younes of the Lebanese Culture Foundation, Farah Elle, an Irish-Libyan songwriter/singer, and Ashish Dha, singer and multi-instrumentalist.

The Arabic language is a pillar of the cultural diversity of humanity. It is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, used daily by more than 290 million people. World Arabic Language Day is celebrated every year on 18 December since 2012. The date coincides with the day in 1973 that the General Assembly of the United Nations

adopted Arabic as the sixth official language of the Organisation.

In the diversity of its forms, classic or dialectal, from oral expression to poetic calligraphy, the Arabic language has given rise to a fascinating aesthetic, in fields as varied as architecture, poetry, philosophy and song. It gives access to an incredible variety of identities and beliefs and its history reveals the richness of its links with other languages. Arabic has played a catalytic role in knowledge, promoting the dissemination of Greek and Roman sciences and philosophies to Renaissance Europe. It has enabled a dialogue of cultures along the silk roads, from the coast of India to the Horn of Africa. <

Continuing a long-established tradition of Middle Eastern studies in the history of Trinity College, this generous gift comes at a time when society in Ireland must seize the opportunity to enhance the role which all can play in a pluralistic society.
