Dubai, 21 Dec. 2009 (WAM) - Dubai World has announced that it today held a meeting in Dubai with its creditor banks involved in the restructuring of the Group's debt. The purpose of the meeting was to provide an update to the banks on the development of the Group's restructuring plans as it seeks to reach a standstill agreement with financial creditors.

Also in attendance were Dubai World's appointed advisers Deloitte, Rothschild and Clifford Chance.

As was confirmed in its statement of December 14th, Dubai World will continue to work with financial creditors to seek a standstill in an orderly way.
