Dubai: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Tuesday attended the signing of an agreement to establish a branch of the Lebanese Saint Joseph University in Dubai.

Shaikh Mohammad welcomed the university's initiative to set up the first branch of its international law school in Dubai, and said it is a step in the right direction, especially since the UAE represents the Arab world, with Dubai as the heart of the nation, "to which we are all proud to belong".

The agreement was signed by Dr Abdullah Al Karam, Chairman and CEO of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, and Professor Renee Shamousi, President of the University.
