Indian elected to Abu Dhabi trade body board
Abu Dhabi: Members of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI), the apex business regulatory authority of the emirate of Abu Dhabi, have elected Yousuf Ali M.A., managing director of the EMKE Group, retail giants of West Asia, to its board of directors.

Yousuf Ali is a prominent Abu Dhabi-based NRI businessman. ADCCI, with over 50,000 members, plays a major role in the business decision-making process of the country. This election is seen as a trend-setting step by the authorities, as foreigners were allowed to contest and vote for the first time in this part of the world.

Fifteen businessmen from countries such as Canada, Ireland, Egypt, Lebanon, Pakistan and Bangladesh contested in the election. Ali got the highest vote, and his margin of lead was almost double that of the nearest candidate.
