Shaikha Lubna called the Forbes result a "UAE global achievement".
Policies adopted by the national leadership, beginning with Shaikh Zayed, have "bolstered the role of UAE women in sustainable development as well as their international and regional status", she said.
There is a "keen interest in advancing women's role in social and economic development" within the UAE's leadership, she added.
Shaikha Lubna Al Qasimi has Honorary Doctorates in Science, Law and Economics from California State University, the University of Exeter and the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (Korea), respectively.
