Hamdan Bin Mohammed Celebrates Graduation Of Arab And Global Leadership Programmes At World Government Summit

H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, attended a significant graduation event. This ceremony celebrated the completion of three leadership and capacity-building programmes. These initiatives were organised by the UAE in collaboration with various countries and international organisations. The programmes are part of efforts to exchange government knowledge globally.

The World Governments Summit 2025 saw the graduation of the second cohort from the Future Government Leaders in the Arab World Programme. This programme was a joint effort between the UAE government, the Arab Organization for Administrative Development, and the Government Knowledge Exchange Office. It successfully graduated 40 young leaders from 20 Arab nations.

Another highlight was the graduation of the first cohort from the International Cybersecurity Leadership Programme. This initiative was launched through a partnership between the Government Knowledge Exchange Office and the Cybersecurity Council. It included 29 cybersecurity professionals from around the world who completed this programme.

Additionally, H.H. Sheikh Hamdan witnessed graduates from the International Accelerators Ambassadors Programme. This programme was organised in collaboration with the UAE Government and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Fourteen participants from ICAO member states successfully completed this programme.

The UAE Government Experience Exchange Programme began at the World Government Summit in 2018. It aims to build international partnerships by sharing expertise, experiences, and success stories. The initiative focuses on empowering governments, enhancing capabilities, and preparing leaders for future challenges.

Since its launch, this programme has forged strong ties with governments in 45 countries and six Arab and international organisations. These partnerships align with the UAE’s vision for international relations based on cooperation and constructive collaboration in shaping future governance.

These initiatives reflect the UAE's commitment to fostering global leadership development through strategic partnerships and knowledge exchange programmes. They aim to equip leaders with skills needed for future governance challenges while strengthening international relations through shared learning experiences.
