3 nd 2 GCC Logistics Conference 2017 Bahrain has achieved significant steps in the advancement of logistics in the course of 2015 and Infrastructure and procedures are important pillars for the progress as well as intensive communication within the community. It is just as important to raise awareness of what is possible and to enable contacts between professionals. For that reason, I have readily accepted the patronage of the nd 2 GCC Logistics Conference. Coinciding with Logistics Day 2017, the conference reaches out to business professionals, polit icians, media representatives, students and to the public, making it a showcase of the service quality and the attractive jobs that industry sector has to offer. Patron of the Conference H.E. Mr. Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications Kingdom of Bahrain Logistics is all about being in the right place at the right moment. It is thus not surprising that many logistics service providers and indeed, I am proud to note, a large number of them from Germany are currently planning to expand their activities in Bahrain. Having achieved a major leap forward in terms of efficiency and service quality in recent years, the Kingdom is emerging as an attractive location for advanced services in the Gulf region. As the Ambassador of Germany to the Kingdom of Bahrain, I should like to point to the important role of logistics services in our economy, which is also reflected in Germany's leading position in the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index. nd The 2 GCC Logistics Conference is a most attractive opportunity for establishing contacts with potential partners and for evaluating cooperation options. The conference date was deliberately chosen to coincide with the German Initiative of BVL's Supply Chain Day, underpinning the intention to reach out to the community, including young professionals and skilled graduates. Co-Patron of the Conference H.E. Mr. Alfred Simms-Protz Ambassador of Germany to the Kingdom of Bahrain nd As one of the patrons of the 2 GCC Logistics Conference, I am delighted to welcome you to Manama for a discussion of present opportunities and future potentials.
