Where did 'ownership' come into the picture?

Ownership of the company which presently manages the ports. There may be
contractual obligations which prevent us from changing those arrangements,
even if the ownership of the company changes.


As the current company is British, and as it is being acquired by Dubai
Ports World, I don't think we can interfere with who owns the company.

Sometimes contracts are written in a way that nullifies certain agreements
if one party to the agreement is sold to another party. That's not
interference.
