of the General Women’s Union (GWU), President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood

to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) in line with the ‘We the UAE 2031’

“Furthermore, women’s empowerment contributes to reinforcing the UAE’s global
reputation. The UAE secured the 10th rank in the Global Soft Power Index, based on a
global report including 193 countries and over 173,000 respondents. In addition, the
country secured top global rankings, including fourth place in Future Growth Potential,
seventh in A Strong and Stable Economy, eighth in Influence, ninth in International
Relations, ninth in Influential in Diplomatic Circles and ninth in Advanced Technology and
Innovation,” H.E. further added.

Since assuming her role in May 2023, H.E. Raja Al Mazrouei has been instrumental in
reinforcing ECI’s dedication to fostering a supportive work environment for women,
recognising their pivotal role in achieving the organisation’s strategic objectives. This
approach aligns with ECI’s efforts to boost the competitiveness of the UAE’s non-oil
exports, facilitate the expansion of locally produced goods into international markets, and
support foreign trade, exports, and re-exports. Her efforts also contribute to fostering the
growth, adaptability and diversification of the national economy.
