Dubai: Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on Wednesday between Transguard Group and the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs – Dubai.
The agreement, inked by Sheikh Ahmed on behalf of Transguard Group and Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs – Dubai, aims to bolster cooperation in organising and supporting labour-related initiatives across the emirate.
