ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, March 31, 2010 - The Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development and
National Bank of Abu Dhabi, H.E. Nasser Ahmed Al Suwaidi, has been confirmed
as keynote speaker for the upcoming 2nd Latin America Mid-East Investors
Forum (LA-MEIF), taking place on April 26 and 27 in Abu Dhabi.

Co-hosted by LatinFinance and the Gulf Latin America Leaders Council
(GLLC), the 2nd LA-MEIF will bring a delegation of Latin American companies,
banks and funds to Abu Dhabi to present investment opportunities and to hear
from investors in the Middle East about how Latin America fits into their
strategies and objectives.

This interregional initiative is the only of its kind, and is very timely
considering recent investments from the Gulf into Latin American companies
and funds. Delegates have 2 full days to meet and present to each other, and
this week, the 1-1 Meeting Planner will open for delegates interested in
holding private meetings during LA-MEIF.

The 1-1 meetings will be complemented by a series of panel discussions
and networking opportunities so that both groups - Latin
American/international delegates as well as Gulf-based investors - can learn
about each other and what it takes to get a successful deal done.

Latin American/international delegates include representatives from Banco
do Brasil, Banco Mercantil Santa Cruz, Banobras, BNDES, BR Properties,
Braskem, Brilla Group, Bunge, Camargo Correa, Compass Group, Group Metro,
