For the second time since 2001, H. H. Shaikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has addressed questions submitted by Arab journalists through a 31-page document on his website.
Very interesting, as it touches a wide range of topics from the global economic crisis and democracy to the perception of Dubai in the international media.
Some quotes, which you can also read in today's edition of The National:
"Dubai is not only a catalyst of change; it is an exemplar of change. And I am proud of that, just as I am proud of the economic and social contributions that Emiratis and their well-wishers have made over these years to furthering the Dubai Vision."
"We did not at any time feel that the financial crisis is a threat. The worst is over and behind us."
I'm curious to read about reactions, both in the media and from people reading this, nationally and internationally! Check here for another blog discussing this.
