A glittering dinner gala party held at the famous Pincio Park concluded activities of the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Horse Flat Racing Festival’s World Arabian Horse Racing Conference (WAHRC) in Rome, Italy gathered over 500 guests from 81 countries representing the six continents.

The Festival presented mementoes HE Sheikha Lubna, HE Saqr Al Raisi, HE Dr. Hissa while Rome Mayor Tronga Francesco Paolo and Colonel Massimo Crocco Barisano of the Lancers of Montebello were presented special-made paintings by Ms Sawaya.

Mayor Tronga hailed the strong relations between Italy and the UAE and said the city of Rome was proud to have been the host for the important conference on Arabian racing. “The ties between the UAE and Italy have been strengthened. Italy’s Milan hosted Expo 2015, the universal exposition and in 2020 Dubai in the UAE will be the hosts. There is a lot of co-operation on between the two countries in this regard,” the Mayor of Rome said.

The loudest cheers of the night went to the HH Sheikh Mansoor Festival when Ziad Iskandarani, Certification Manager of Bureau Veritas awarded the ISO 9001-2015 certificate to the HH Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Global Arabian Horse Flat Racing Festival, the first and only one in the UAE to receive this honour. The Certificate was received by Ms Lara Sawaya and Mussalam Al Amri on behalf of the Festival.
