The alliance is the largest business networking club which has membership of over 13 000 CEOs from different sectors of world economic power houses.
The club founder and CEO, Mr Tariq Ahmed Nizami presented Mujuru with the award for the sterling work she is doing to uplift the lives of ordinary Zimbabweans.
Accepting the award, Mujuru extended an invitation to all the CEOs affiliated to the club network to come and invest in Zimbabwe.
Earlier, the Vice President held a closed door meeting with the ruler of Rash Alqahim state, Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasaimi who expressed interest in conducting business with Zimbabwe.
Vice President Mujuru also called on Arab states to seriously consider investing in agricultural ventures within Zimbabwe as the country is endowed with arable land that can be jointly put to use for the benefit of both parties.
She said Zimbabwe is one of the best trade and investment destinations in the world because of its highly literate human resource base as well as its sound infrastructure.
Mujuru invited companies to consider investing in high cash return ventures like fertiliser production, irrigation infrastructure, bio-fuels, solar and mini hydro power plants as well as value addition of primary commodities like cotton and black granite.
