The UAE delegation participating in the event, organised by the Consulate General of the UAE in

Al Maidoor affirmed that the empowerment of women remains one of the UAE’s strategic priorities, in line
with the wise leadership’s vision to support Emirati women and enhance their role in shaping the nation’s
economic future.

She emphasised that since its founding, the UAE has adopted a pioneering approach to positioning
women as active partners in the country’s development journey, through supportive policies, legislation,
and initiatives across both the public and private sectors – making women’s participation in national
development a key driver of the UAE’s regional and global competitiveness.

She said, “We take pride in the remarkable achievements of Emirati women across all sectors. Through
this dialogue, we aim to expand cooperation with women entrepreneurs in China by fostering economic
partnerships built on diversity and innovation, while sharing success stories that inspire the next
generation of women leaders in both countries.”

The event featured a series of panel discussions highlighting women’s roles in vital sectors such as
sustainable finance, investment, fintech, green building, and the localisation of foreign companies in the
UAE. Women leaders from both countries shared their professional experiences and the opportunities
that empowered them.
The event marks a significant milestone in the UAE’s ongoing efforts to reinforce the pioneering role of
Emirati women in sustainable development, in line with the objectives of the “We the UAE 2031” vision
and several other national goals.
