DP World holds first live virtual annual meeting

DUBAI / WAM

DP Global trade enabler DP World has staged the first ever live virtual annual general meeting for shareholders at its HQ in Jebel Ali. Shareholders were connected by a live webcast and telephone conference facility across the region and the world in order to cast their votes on the re-election of board members and to be briefed on company’s recent performance and growth strategy.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said: “We are living in the digital age and Dubai is leading the development of smart tech, providing a wide range of services by electronic means. Following these trends, we believe communication with shareholders who cannot attend in person is key to maintaining dialogue and to convey the group’s strategic direction and its performance over last year.”
