With global thought leaders arriving to Dubai to take part in the summit, it is important to ensure that the event reaches out to the wider public.”

Ahmad Abdullah Al Shaikh, managing director, DMI, added: “The Summit on Global Agenda is more relevant than ever before and DMI will deliver the message through various media platforms to the target groups…. The summit this year comes at a time when the humanity faces real challenges, and this is what makes this year’s summit very important as it discusses several key topics…”
