Sameh Hassan Shoukry Selim: A young population is the greatest potential of this region. #Egypt plays a fundamental role due to its strategic position with the #SuezCanal.

Sameh Hassan Shoukry Selim: Our ambitions in #renewableenergy are unlimited due to its proven economic viability. #COP27 was a defining moment where we were able to maintain momentum after Glasgow. #Climate is very pertinent in our region.

Reem Ebrahim Al Hashimy: We have been seeing earthquakes, typhoons, floods and droughts in unprecedented scale. We now hear the word "apocalyptic" regularly. Business as usual in #climatefinance is not enough.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

Reem Ebrahim Al Hashimy: We're looking straight in the eye of #conflicts and challenges in our region as it has always been. But we choose not to be victims. We choose to see beyond these issues to find solutions.

Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi: #India has so much capital to offer, & connectedness between India & our region is going to be a game changer. Informed by geography, history & culture, #Oman has gotten used to being "friends to all."

Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi: We can sense the energy of young people, waiting to be unleashed. As governments, we need to empower that more, but no one country can solve it alone.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

Reem Ebrahim Al Hashimy: We were a population of consumers but today, you're seeing #innovation happen in our part of the world. The dynamic has changed significantly with #education and #technology transfers.

.@drausaf: Within #MENA, the #GCC is India's largest trading block. #India is a net #energy importer so MENA is key to that.

#Raisina2023 #RaisinaDialogue2023

.@drausaf: A good ecosystem has been created for startups in places like #Qatar and #SaudiArabia.
