Sustainable Development Success Requires The Nurturing Of Young Leaders Says RAKTDA CEO

The region’s most powerful gathering of young global leaders came to a close for its second year in Ras Al Khaimah – the UAE’s northernmost emirate – today with a resounding call for prioritisation of youth development and for tomorrow’s leaders to step up to the plate to deliver sustainability success across business, the environment and society.

Delivering the opening address at the Young Global Leaders Summit (YGLS), which was held at the five-star Rixos Bab Al Bahr, Ras Al Khaimah, coinciding with the United Nations’ World Tourism Day 2017, His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, encouraged leaders of today to create an environment for the next generation to succeed.

“It is more important than ever to bring new discussions, new ideas, and new ways of thinking. The asset that we have and can take pride in is our young men and women who will carry the flag for the next generation,” His Highness noted.
