The summit, hosted by the UAE under the patronage of Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is a premier global platform for sharing governance experiences and fostering innovation.
According to Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mohammad Rafiqul Alam, Professor Yunus is expected to engage in bilateral meetings with heads of state and government on the sidelines of the summit. “During the summit, the Honorable Chief Adviser is also likely to hold courtesy meetings with political and business leaders attending the event,” Alam stated during a recent media briefing.
The invitation to the summit was extended to Professor Yunus through a formal letter from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on 13 January 2025.
