Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Ali, President of the IsDB Group, lauded the strong and generous support of the Member Countries and congratulated the staff of the IsDB Group commenting that “this is an accolade to be proud of. It is also an occasion for us to renew our pledge and endeavour to further the achievements of this noble institution through adherence to the highest levels of professionalism, due diligence and prudent practices while conducting our tasks with integrity and sincerity.
