Dear Tarik, I trust this email finds you well. It’s been a while since we have talked last. Congratulations on the book you published on the public sector reform in the Arab countries. In fact, we are organizing a webinar on the same topic. It will focus on public administration reforms and modernization in the Arab region. We are planning to hold it on 23rd August. We would be glad to have you participate with us and present the key findings of your book. I suggest we have a brief chat over the phone at your convenience this week, so I can brief you on this forthcoming webinar.
