RAK Minerals & Metals Investments, a joint venture between the Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority and the Trimex Group, was a Strategic Partner at the 5^th World Islamic Economic Forum in Jakarta, Indonesia. Gathering the movers and shakers of the Islamic business community including Heads of States, government and corporate leaders, the WIEF was created to foster partnership among Muslim entrepreneurs and between the Muslim and non-Muslim businessmen. WIEF 2009 espoused the theme “Food & Energy Security & Stemming the Tide of the Global Financial Crisis.”

Rice handled all the communications and logistics on behalf of RMMI. The primary objective was to leverage the WIEF’s unique approach to building linkages within the Islamic business and financial world to build the profile of RMMI as Indonesia’s “partner for progress” and promote investments into its massive coal and infrastructure project there.

Rice managed the signing of Government-to-Government Agreements between Ras Al Khaimah and Indonesia, high profile meetings, and media interactions for RMMI’s executives and the delegation of His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, the Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah. The Crown Prince had private meetings with Islamic business leaders as well as fellow Heads of States such as Malaysian Prime Minister Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Former Deputy Prime  Minister  of  Malaysia  Tun  Musa  Hitam and  Indonesian  President  Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
