Dubai maintains its lead among Arab cities and advances to fifth place globally in the cultural interaction criterion within the “Strong Global Cities 2021” index.

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's Crown Prince and Chairman of the Executive Council, took to his official Twitter account to affirm Dubai's position as the global capital of the creative economy and a model for sustainable development aimed at human happiness.

He said, "Dubai has advanced six positions among the largest and most important global cities within the economy criterion in the same index. Despite the exceptional circumstances the world is going through."

The achievement is in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and he commended the efforts of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed that made it possible for Dubai to reach this level of competitiveness.
