emirates7 - Several UAE ministers and officials have emphasized that the recent visit of H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, known as the Mother of the Nation and Chairwoman of the General Women's Union, to the Republic of Türkiye marks a significant step forward in UAE-Türkiye relations.
They described the visit as carrying strong humanitarian significance and reflecting shared values of cooperation and understanding, especially in the areas of women’s empowerment, family support, and the promotion of universal human values.
The ministers highlighted Sheikha Fatima as an outstanding example of female leadership, both locally and globally, in advocating for the rights and development of women and families. Her engagements with high-ranking Turkish figures, including President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and First Lady Emine Erdoğan, allowed for meaningful exchanges on important social and developmental topics.
The visit underscored the deepening partnership between the UAE and Türkiye, creating new opportunities for collaboration in education, innovation, entrepreneurship, and community development. It also brought attention to joint initiatives in sustainability, environmental protection, and youth engagement.
Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, noted the rapid growth in trade and investment between the two nations. He pointed out that non-oil trade reached $40.5 billion in 2024, largely due to the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, cementing Türkiye's position as a strategic ally.
Sheikha Fatima’s longstanding humanitarian and leadership efforts have earned her international acclaim, which was recently recognized by President Erdoğan with the conferral of Turkey's Order of the Republic. This honor reflects her influential work in championing the rights and welfare of women, children, and families.
UAE officials—including Maryam bint Ahmed Al Hammadi, Dr. Maitha Al Shamsi, Ohood Al Roumi, Noura Al Kaabi, Khalifa Almarar, Alia Al Mazrouei, and Al Reem Al Falasi—praised Sheikha Fatima’s visionary leadership and her role in promoting intercultural dialogue and shared human values.
They agreed that her commitment to humanitarian service and women’s empowerment continues to receive global recognition. Her visit to the Sheikh Zayed Children’s Complex in Istanbul further illustrated her enduring devotion to humanitarian work and care for future generations.
