The dinner was attended by a group of businessmen and friends of both families. Dr. Attar gave a speech in which he referred to the relationships between the two families and thanked the Ba'albakis for this event: "The Ba'albakis offer a new idea based on the past constants, and this is a blessed practice. It's a call for all of us to be on friendly terms, merciful and united; a move that is in the core of the profound concept of trader, i.e. piety, honesty, courage and mercy."
