LONDON: The Middle East will have a significant presence at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum next week, reflecting the growing influence of emerging markets, the organization said on Tuesday.
Mirek Dusek, the forum’s managing director, said he was “pleased” with the increase in the number of representatives from emerging markets expected to attend the event. He added that the “proportion is growing this year. We’re seeing particularly strong numbers, for example, from the Middle East, also from South Asia.”
