DUBAI: Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Davos, commended the essential role that the UAE plays in organising international gatherings like the World Governments Summit (WGS), where world governments and international organisations come together.
“Dubai and the UAE stand for having a very forward-looking approach, a strategic approach’, Professor Klaus Schwab said in a statement to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), during his participation in WGS 2024, which began today in Dubai under the theme of ‘Shaping Future Governments’.
The world should be prepared for a lot of change, he said, but change, even if it is trying sometimes, will ultimately lead to a better world.
