Joy has been in Dubai at trade fairs seeking a market to sell our organic brown rice.
There are a lot of Filipinos in that area, working as nurses and caregivers but also in construction etc.
People forget that the Arab world's involvement in trade with all sorts of cultures goes back 2000 years.
recent article about trade agreements between India and the Middle East.,
The corridor, which would include India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Israel and the European Union, would help boost trade, deliver energy resources and improve digital connectivity.
Biden’s national security adviser, said the network reflected Biden’s vision for “far-reaching investments” ,,,to boost economic growth, help bring countries in the Middle East together and establish that region as a hub for economic activity instead of as a “source of challenge, conflict or crisis” as it has been in recent history.
Lots of Philippine OFW live and work there.
Filipinos in the United Arab Emirates are migrants or descendants of the Filipinos living in the United Arab Emirates. 679,819 Filipinos live in the UAE, of which 450,000 live in Dubai, and they form 6.1% of the whole UAE population, and they form 21.3% of the population of Dubai.
The Pope has been working with their leaders to encourage peace between the west and the Islamic world.
The document was signed in 2019 by Pope Francis and Dr Ahmed Al Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, during the pontiff's visit to the UAE. It calls for the reconciliation of people of all faiths and goodwill in service of universal peace. The Abrahamic Family House, a complex of a mosque, synagogue and church that opened in Abu Dhabi this year, aims to be the physical manifestation of the document.
the Abraham accords is also trying to encourage policies of peace and trade.
But since it was signed under Trumpieboy, who is hated by the western press, it has gotten little publicity. However, Biden has supported this policy which is a good sign.
AlJ, who is very pro Palestinian, has this article from Sept 2023 discusses how the UAE links with Israel have improved since the Abraham accords, but also insists that Palestine is one thorn in this optimistic plan.
One problem: In my opinion the present terrorist attacks against Israel is about Iran trying to stop the Abraham accords. So it is not just bitter Palestinians being manipulated to hate by outside powers. Hamas is essentially an Iranian proxy, and the war in Gaza is Iran's proxy war against Israel (similar to how the Houthi rebellion is Iran's proxy war against Saudi and other Arab states).
Those behind the war don't give S... about the Palestinians: these leaders not only encourage this hatred, but are busy stealing literally billions of dollars of aid money: diverting some to make tunnels, buy rockets etc. but also a lot of that money is being diverted into their pockets. Follow the money.
.
The present terrorist attacks, along with the hype/propaganda machine helped by the western press useful idiots who take their propaganda as truth, even after it is debunked, are trying not just to destroy Israel (the mullahs are getting more and more unpopular in Iran because of corruption, so hey start a war to distract people),
but is also Iran's way of destroying the peaceful Arab world: but it is about undermining the West.
Iran's history is full of wars: against the Arab world and against the west. It not only has it's roots in the Sunni/Shiite rivalry or the crusades, but actually it predates Islam by a thousand years when the Persian empire took the area over, and of course, the wars of Persia vs Greece, the take over by Alexander the great, and the ancient Rome vs Persia wars being refought.
What: You think that the Muslim riots in the west are about Israel?
