Impressive line-up for The Economist roundtable with Nabil Elaraby addition

Regional stabilization in North Africa will have no small impact in Malta, as local cooperation firms' expansion plans have a notable southern focus. In recognition of this trend, Nabil Elaraby will be attending The Economist Event's Business Roundtable with the Government of Malta as a keynote speaker this March.

Nabil Elaraby's arrival in Malta will undoubtedly stimulate discussions and real actions to invigorate future opportunities for Maltese firms in the region.

Nabil Elaraby is known primarily for his current role as Secretary General of the League of Arab States. He also played a significant role in Egypt during the Arab Spring, participating in a group of 30 high-profile Egyptians who acted as liaisons between Egyptian protesters and the government, and pressed for the removal of President Hosni Mubarak. Following Mubarak's removal, Elaraby served as Foreign Minister of Egypt in Essam Sharaf's government from March to June 2011.

Recently, Elaraby has participated in intra-Syrian negotiations in Geneva. Elaraby is also pursuing regional cooperation to restore security and stability, and rebuild institutions in Egypt and North Africa.
