"That being said, we remain confident in the long-term potential of Dubai and the wider region, which remain important markets for us. We will continue to monitor developments and reassess opportunities as circumstances evolve," according to the Lindt & Sprüngli spokesperson. The Lindt World of Chocolate project in Dubai would have functioned as a museum and retail shop, Bloomberg News earlier reported.
