CoB Students at the Student Exchange Program launched by the Ministry of Economy
"The youth are our country's most cherished asset" - this quote by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, reflects the UAE wise leadership’s belief in the potential of youth. Inspired by this wise vision, today I had the pleasure of meeting a group of ambitious Emirati youth as part of the Student Exchange Program launched by the Ministry of Economy in collaboration with a number of leading national universities. Through this program, we will work to develop the potentials of youngsters who are capable of understanding the variables of the economy and foreseeing its future. The program is a new opportunity to invest in Emirati youth and enable them to contribute to the economic growth and support the country's future vision for the next 50 years. Youth will remain the most important and the safest bet to invest in, in order to develop the present and build the future.
