The Dubai Land Department (DLD), signed three Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), during its participation as a strategic partner of the Egypt Mega Property Show, held in Cairo with the aim of promoting urban development between the two countries to encourage investment and real estate promotion as well as enhancing confidence by providing a distinctive and balanced investment environment based on smart services to create an innovative and sustainable global real estate environment.
Majida Ali Rashid, CEO of the Real Estate Promotion and Investment Management Sector at DLD, commented, “We developed an integrated strategy to record an active presence at the show, and worked to showcase a group of leading real estate developers and partners in the Emirate. We also coordinated with a number of entities representing the public and private sectors to strengthen cooperation and highlight Dubai’s role as a leader in all fields related to the performance of the real estate market.
“Thanks to the innovative ideas and projects we presented on our platform, we attracted the attention of many attendees and a growing number of VIPs and parties who expressed their willingness to cooperate with us and sign partnerships and MoUs that would help us to promote Dubai’s real estate while offering our accumulated experience to institutions in brotherly and friendly countries.”
The DLD signed the first MoU with the Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities in Egypt, signed with Khaled Abbas, Deputy Minister of Housing for National Projects. The MoU aims to enhance the role of integrated urban development, which includes urban development in Egypt and the promotion of real estate investment in line with the importance of the relationship between Dubai and Egypt, especially in the field of real estate investment and promotion as well as the activities related to urban development.
The fields of cooperation between the two parties include encouraging and managing international real estate investment and promotion, developing a documentation system for the preservation of real estate rights as well as training real estate professionals to develop the sector. Emphasis will be placed on developing skills to develop electronic solutions, upgrading the standards of real estate legislation, keeping pace with the latest developments in the world as well as studying and organising joint workshops, conferences, and exhibitions.
The second MoU was signed with Tarek Shoukri, Head of the Real Estate Development Chamber at Federation of Egyptian Industries. Under the MoU, the information exchanged will be made available for the benefit of both parties and will promote the real estate market and real estate projects of both countries. Information on real estate laws and regulations will be exchanged and opportunities for trade exchange through meetings and conferences will be provided, in addition to organising meetings with groups of developers or even individually.
The third MoU was signed with Sayed Abaza, Vice President of the Chamber of Building Materials Industries. It aims to raise awareness and educating customers in the building materials industries to develop the sector and the peoples’ skills. The chamber also agreed to share its database with the DLD for the benefit of members in the construction sector.
