Sharjah24: His Excellency Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, CEO of Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), remarked: “It is with great reverence that we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Emirati women for their remarkable achievements in the developmental journey, placing the UAE in a leading position on the world map. The endeavours of Emirati women stand as a testament to their adept utilisation of the unbounded support of the nation's leadership, institutions, and society. Without the distinct attributes that characterise the women of our country, the support offered would not have been transformed to become the foundation of this comprehensive Emirati development scene, wherein women play a pivotal and influential role.”
He continued: "The UAE's celebration of Emirati Women's Day under the theme 'We Collaborate for Tomorrow' holds profound implications and conveys significant messages to our society and the global community. In the UAE, we have transitioned from mere women's empowerment to a firm belief in their pivotal role, ensuring their active participation in achieving major strategic objectives, most notably in development and sustainability."
Al Qaseer asserted that Shurooq is adamant about its unwavering commitment towards fostering and recognising Emirati women's instrumental role and contributions. This ethos is encapsulated not only through the principle of equal opportunities within the authority but also through its ongoing endeavour to cultivate a work environment tailored to the unique attributes of women, facilitating their ascent to leadership roles. He pointed out that safeguarding the collective accomplishments of Emirati society, inclusive of those achieved by women, stands as a collective duty shared amongst institutions and individuals in the community.
