BBC World Service - World Business Report, Israeli PM in landmark visit to UAE

Naftali Bennet becomes the first Israeli PM to visit the UAE

Israeli Prime Minister has embarked on a landmark visit to the United Arab Emirates.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is in the United Arab Emirates, on a landmark first visit by an Israeli head of government to the country. Hussein Ibish, senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington DC, tells us about the potential for economic cooperation between the two states, who normalised relations last year. 
Plus, as South Korean president Moon Jae-in travels to Australia to talk trade, honorary senior research fellow in Modern Korea at Leeds University Aidan Foster-Carter tells us what he’ll be discussing with counterpart Scott Morrison.
Last week’s announcement that inflation in the United States has reached its highest level in almost four decades came ahead of a scheduled Federal Reserve meeting this week. Economic commentator Laurie Laird tells us what she thinks will be on the agenda.
Plus, the jihadist Allied Democratic Forces militant group, based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has been blamed for several recent suicide bombings in Uganda’s capital Kampala. Ugandan journalist Nebert Rugadya and Judith Tyson from the Overseas Development Institute tell us more about the group, and how rising insecurity is affecting the economies of both countries.
