Excellency,
It is my privilege to invite you to the United Nations’ eighth World Investment Forum, to be
hosted by the Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), from 16 to 20 October 2023 in Abu
Dhabi, UAE. In particular, I would like to invite you to address the Investment Ministerial Round
Table to be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Wednesday, 18 October 2023.
Organized under the overall theme of Investing in Sustainable Development, the Forum will
address key and emerging investment development challenges caused by today’s multiple global
crises, including the need to invest in food security, the energy transition, health for all, supply chain
resilience and productive capacity growth especially in the poorest countries. Taking place ahead of
COP28, the Forum will also include a focused track on promoting climate finance and investment.
The Round Table will allow Ministers to share their views on national and international
investment policy priorities and to exchange experiences on successful approaches for the
mobilization of finance and the channeling of investment to areas and projects conducive to
sustainable development, with a view to identifying replicable solutions and policy options. It will
also provide an opportunity for dialogue on the most pressing challenges and obstacles to boosting
international investment in the energy transition and sustainable infrastructure. The outcome, in the
form of a summary by the co-chairs, will help shape the debate in other relevant intergovernmental
processes, most notably COP28, which will take place only a month later in the UAE.
Featuring over 100 high-profile events with 80 partner institutions, and bringing together
Heads of State and Government, business executives, Ministers and Heads of international
organizations, the Forum will provide an excellent opportunity to share your vision and showcase
your country’s efforts in supporting the global commons in the area of investment for development.
In addition, the Forum will allow you to engage with senior business representatives and
investors, exchange good practices with peer ministers, present your countries’ policies and business
environment, benefit from cross-sectoral dialogues that will inspire new ideas and initiatives as well
as shape new approaches to today’s investment-development challenges and opportunities.

His Excellency
Mr. Tiit Riisalo
