“At a time when we are transforming our country, shouldn’t there be reforms in global governance institutions,” he questioned, adding, “While giving priority to our national sovereignty, we have to ensure respect for international law.”
On the other hand, he also noted climate change and terrorism as major challenges facing humanity. He said: “Terrorism in various forms is bringing new challenges before humanity every day. Today, climate challenges are becoming widespread with time. On the one hand, there are domestic concerns, on the other hand, the international system seems in disarray.”
He also praised Dubai for becoming an epicenter of global economy, trade, commerce and technology. Under the theme of ‘Shaping New Governments’, the World Government Summit is taking place involving people from around the globe, governments, international organisations, leaders, and private sector individuals.
