Dubai: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, expressed satisfaction at the remarkable development in the use of electronic systems in government ministries and institutions.

Shaikh Mohammad on Sunday inaugurated the latest edition of the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (Gitex) at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, along with Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.

Shaikh Mohammad described this development as a qualitative leap and a fruit of the government's strategy, set by him.

He praised the second and third line of leaders for their dedicated work and their support for his directives, which will qualify them to be promoted to the first line leadership.

He highlighted the efforts of the team at the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs, which completed an e-system, at following up the performance of ministries and government bodies for the first time in the Arab world.

More than 130,000 people are expected to visit this year's five-day event. However, there were no big crowds to be seen on day one.
