• 0:57
  first deputy ruler of Dubai and deputy prime
• 0:59
  minister and minister of finance, on his 18th
• 1:03
  anniversary as deputy ruler. So he says their
• 1:06
  Highnesses play this pivotal role in advancing
• 1:08
  Dubai's development journey and consolidating
• 1:11
  its pioneering model. Hmm. And it's all inspired
• 1:14
  by his vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed
• 1:17
  bin Rashid al -Maktoum, the vice president and
• 1:20
  prime minister of the UAE and ruler of Dubai.
• 1:23
  This visionary leadership, he says, is founded
• 1:26
  on good governance, organizational agility, innovation,
• 1:29
  and future readiness. Wow, a fantastic overview
• 1:33
  of that shared vision. So then, Altair delved
• 1:36
  into the specifics, right? The impact of Sheikh
• 1:39
  Hamdan's leadership on Dubai's government and
• 1:41
  its global standing? He did. He did. He added
• 1:44
  this. His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed
• 1:47
  leads Dubai's government ecosystem in a way that
• 1:50
  fosters smart transformation and innovation.
• 1:53
  Okay. It establishes high performance standards
• 1:56
  and cultivates a culture of positive competitiveness.
• 1:59
  And he places this strong emphasis on building
• 2:02
  national capabilities. Yeah. developing Emirati
• 2:06
  talent, enhancing service quality across every
• 2:09
  sector. And he says this leadership is clearly
• 2:11
  reflected in these huge advancements, you know,
• 2:14
  in the digital economy, AI, sustainability, quality
• 2:17
  of life, service accessibility. Wow. And all
• 2:20
  of it has strengthened the Emirates' position
• 2:22
  in global competitiveness indicators. And complementing
• 2:26
  that, Altair then highlighted Sheikh Maktoum's
• 2:28
  role in really cementing Dubai's status as a
• 2:31
  global financial powerhouse, which is just incredible.
• 2:34
  Exactly. He explained, the future -focused vision
• 2:37
  of His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed has
• 2:40
  been fundamental in reinforcing Dubai's status
• 2:42
  as a global hub for trade and finance. Right,
• 2:45
  the financial side. Strengthening the resilience
• 2:48
  of its economic and financial landscape, boosting
• 2:51
  investor confidence and accelerating that transition
• 2:54
  to a more diversified and robust economy. This
• 2:57
  all supports the Dubai Economic Agenda, D33.
• 3:01
  and it reinforces Dubai's position among the
• 3:03
  world's leading financial and investment centers.
• 3:06
  He also said this vision has laid a solid foundation
• 3:09
  for developing financial markets and the continuous
• 3:13
  enhancement of all the legislative and financial
• 3:15
  frameworks to be in line with international best
• 3:18
  practice. And then, finally, I think His Excellency
• 3:21
  Saeed Al -Tayr brought it all to a close by renewing
• 3:25
  Diwa's pledge to support this leadership, right?
• 3:27
  He did, and he concluded with these words. On
• 3:30
  this auspicious occasion, we renew our pledge
• 3:33
  to continue our efforts to achieve the vision
• 3:35
  of the wise leadership through quality projects
• 3:37
  and strategic initiatives that strengthen energy
• 3:39
  and water security, to advance the transition
• 3:43
  to a green economy, and contribute to achieving
• 3:45
  net zero by 2050. We pray to Almighty God to
• 3:49
  continue to bless His Highness Sheikh Hamdan
• 3:51
  bin Mohammed and His Highness Sheikh Maktoum
• 3:54
  bin Mohammed with good health and well -being.
• 3:56
  Of course. and to guide them in furthering the
• 3:59
  journey of leadership and excellence so that
• 4:01
  Dubai remains a global benchmark for innovation,
• 4:04
  sustainability, and future readiness and a source
• 4:07
  of inspiration for cities worldwide. What a comprehensive
• 4:11
  tribute to 18 years of transformative leadership.
• 4:15
  Now, here's a question we'd like our listeners
• 4:17
  to think about. How can long -term, stable leadership
• 4:21
  foster the kind of rapid innovation and future
• 4:25
  readiness that we're seeing in Dubai's model.
