On the note
From the sentence below, what does "on the note" mean?
If we omit it, will the meaning of the sentence change?
"Clear cut policies for liquidity transfer among OIC countries and the emerging role of Islamic finance in Sub-Saharan and East African nations were also highlighted at the panel discussion, which concluded on the note of optimism that Islamic finance is growing in the right direction and will claim its share in global trade finance"
Any advise would be very much appreciated
