Bulawayo mayor - Martin Moyo could be headed to Dubai after he was invited by His Highness Sheich Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE President.

 Moyo, is due to attend the sixth annual investment meeting (AIM)  in Dubai UAE  from 11th to 13th April.

Acting Town Clerk Sikhangele Zhou said

Ambassador Hamad Horeb Alhabsi of the United Arab Emirates Embassy in Pretoria South Africa sent the invite to Moyo.

"I wish to extend to you my sincerest greetings from the United Arab Emirates.

"Under the Patronage of His Highness Sheich Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, I have the honour

to invite you and your esteemed organization to the sixth edition of the Annual Investment Meeting, to be held from 11th to 13th April 2016, at the Dubai

International Convention and Exhibition Centre".

The theme of the sixth edition of AIM will be "The New World of FDI, Key Features and Best Practices".

"As the principal host the event, the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Economy will be honoured to welcome you and your esteemed team to participate at the sixth edition of AIM.

"Your involvement can align with the event's content-rich set of features as either a premium partner, a key sponsor, a showcase at the exhibition, or a speaker at the conference to present your organisation investment policies in specific high growth sectors in frontier and emerging markets, your new modes of market penetration or your new investment strategies".

However, council said the invitation is silent on the aspect of funding and the assumption was that all attendant costs had to be borne by Council.

The estimated cost for the trip inclusive of travel and hotel accommodation was $2000.

Council there recommended that "in principle, authority be granted' for Moyo to attend.
