“This new achievement urges us to continue further with our forward-looking plans aimed at consolidating the emirate’s leading position in the international legal landscape. Our strategies are also aligned with Dubai Plan 2021, which aims to establish a transparent and reliable government that ensures impartial application of laws and regulations,” Al Mansouri added.
