DIFC will continue contributing towards the development of the UAE and the prosperity of its people says HE Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman

HE Dr. Omar Bin Sulaiman, Governor of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Vice Chairman of the UAE Central Bank said: "I congratulate His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi; His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai; Their Highnesses the Rulers of all the Emirates; the government; and the people of the UAE on the occasion of the 37th UAE National Day."

"This important day in our history is an occasion to celebrate the tremendous development that the country has accomplished in a short span of time. This progress has been made possible because of the vision of the UAE's founders, the Late HH Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the Late HH Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the leadership of Their Highnesses the Rulers of the seven Emirates and the dedication and hard work of its people. The outstanding progress achieved in diverse fields has enabled the country not only to match the levels of the world's most advanced nations, but also significantly enhance its role in the global economy. The UAE is poised to achieve new levels of progress over the coming years."

"Since its establishment in 2004, the Dubai International Financial Centre has worked to contribute to the economic surge of the UAE by creating a global gateway for capital and investment. DIFC's development into one of the world's most prominent global financial centres will further catalyse the UAE's financial growth. On the occasion of the UAE's 37th National Day, we reaffirm our commitment to continue working towards the development of the UAE and the prosperity of its people."
