15 years of Dubai Executive Council

“Over the last 15 years, the Executive Council played a key role in achieving Dubai’s ambitions and its inspiration,” said Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, marking the impact of the council over the past decade and a half. “You can’t wait for the future, but you have to build it. It won’t belong only to those with wealth, as knowledge and renovated creativity that are able to maintain acquisitions are also key. I tell [council chairman Sheikh] Hamdan and his team that the future of our people depends on what you provide in term of ideas, creativity and leadership. My advice to Hamdan and his team is to set the bar too high and to not settle for anything less than first place,” Sheikh Mohammed said. 1.
