    The Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organisation (TAG-Org), the largest Arab group of professional service firms, remains completely committed to Bahrain.The group has 73 offices across the Middle East and Africa and representative offices in Europe and North America.In June last year the organisation opened its new state-of-the-art corporate headquarters in Sanabis.

    “We remain committed to Bahrain and I for one feel very secure and very confident in the future of the kingdom,” said organisation chairman Talal Abu-Ghazaleh.”I regard myself as both a Jordanian and a Bahraini and nothing is going to change that.”In Bahrain, there is a culture of stability and it is a model for any small country with limited resources,” he said.”The leadership here is strong and shows a willingness to address problems,” he added.”Many years ago, His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, said to me that I pleased him because I upset him,” he said.”That is the mark of a true statesman because he wants to know the facts and hear the problems,” he added.”The way forward for Bahrain and other countries in the region is our ability to co-exist.”The solution to problems is realising we need to agree to disagree because complete conformity is not good and it is healthy to disagree so long as this is done constructively and positively for the benefit of all.

    “We in the Arab world are going through a process of change that is a renaissance which will create a renaissance in the West as the economic balance between East and West changes,” he said.”I believe we have to look at the current global economy with new eyes,” he added.”It used to be that when the US sneezed, the world caught pneumonia. That is not longer the case.
