On the concluding day of the 10th edition of the World Government Summit, the UAE Gender Balance Council (UAE GBC) explored potential areas of future cooperation with the World Economic Forum (WEF) to strengthen their already robust partnership. This partnership culminated in a cooperation agreement at the annual meetings of the Forum in Davos last January.

Today’s discussions were held during a meeting between Mona Ghanem Al Marri, Vice President of the UAE GBC, and Saadia Zahidi, Director General of the WEF, marking the culmination of the Council’s involvement in the activities of WGS 2023.

The UAE GBC mirrors the UAE’s unwavering commitment to gender balance, which highlights the nation’s pioneering role and influential position in this field both regionally and globally. The Council’s inspiring achievements are a testament to the dedicated support, encouragement, and care provided by the wise leadership of the UAE.
