founding fathers' ability to transform their goal of unification into a reality. Today,

its visionary leadership. With the successful Emirates Mars Mission, the country

also embraced space exploration and fulfilled the aspirations of its youth, all of

which have contributed to the country's promising future," His he further added.

The session saw Al Hajri provide a glimpse of the ideas and vision of His Highness

substantial business opportunities, with the company standing as the largest air

carrier in the world today.

had not yet received widespread attention or consideration. With this endeavour, the

largest Information and Communication Technology (ICT) community in the region

was formed. His Highness also oversaw the establishment of the Dubai Media City,

enhancing Dubai's standing as a major hub for media operations both locally and

internationally. Additionally, through the establishment of the Dubai International

Financial Centre, His Highness created a crucial financial services link between the

region and international markets, once again elevating our country's standing as a

dynamic hub of progress," Al Hajri added.
