Bermuda, a leading international financial center has established considerable bilateral business and financial ties with the Arab world. Its renowned financial services sector serves as a natural gateway to the U.S. and Western Hemisphere for Shari'ah compliant finance from the Middle East. Premier Cox said she welcomed the opportunity to join with the C3 Summit organizers in increasing commercial ties between Bermuda, the U.S. and the Arab world. She noted that the C3 Summit comes at a time of great change in the Middle East which will affect the ways in which the West will do business with these fast emerging and critical markets.

"The C3 conference is dedicated to examining these changes and suggesting ways that we and our Middle East colleagues can profit from change. We invite all those who do business in the Middle East to join President Clinton and ourselves us at this timely event," she said.

Mr. Potter added that among its many objectives, the C3 conference is dedicated to helping the region's new governments form a strong civil democracy based on shared values. "By creating a global forum from both the West and the East to explore private sector growth and employment generation, C3 will encourage each region to open new opportunities on the commercial front to increase freer trade. In short, the aspiration of C3 is to encourage dialogue, explore opportunities and grow jobs to pave the path to increased progress for economic engagement between our two regions," he said.
