HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is expected to engage his 10 million followers on social media platforms in a live conversation on Monday evening titled, ‘Dialogue of the Future on Social Media’, from 6.30pm UAE time. Sheikh Mohammed will answer questions on his vision for the future of government, education, health, cities and top issues.

During the session, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed is set to announce major structural changes in the federal government in preparation for the next phase of development in the UAE.

Meanwhile, the fourth edition of the World Government Summit in Dubai will feature high profile discussions in the coming days as more than 3,000 global delegates share the latest ways to shape future governments. Highlighting the growing digital transformation, this year the main address at the Summit will be addressed via closed-circuit television on Monday by United States President Barack Obama, who is expected to comment on the myriad challenges facing many of the 125 countries attending the global event in Dubai.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed also chaired the first meeting of the First Humanitarian Advisory Council which looked at proposals put forward during a Master Card-backed meeting held last November. Additionally, Sheikh Mohammed received Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group, on Sunday to discuss with him his participation in the World Government Summit and a host of topics including economy, governance and UAE’s experiments in these areas. The meeting was attended by Sheikha Lubna Bint-Khalid al-Qasimi, Minister of International Cooperation and Development; Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State; Essa Kazim, Governor of Dubai International Financial Centre, and other senior officials.
