The partnership forum aims at having a comprehensive, sustainable economy that presents services to citizens and societies through businesspeople in cooperation with the public sector, according to a TAGI statement.

Talal Abu Ghazaleh said the establishment of the forum is a joint initiative between TAGI and the UN to enhance human development.
