"Economic leadership is passing to emerging markets, not just as their weight in the global economy passes 50 per cent, but as their share of likely future global growth moves far higher."
“It is with great honour that I receive the ABLF Social Influencer Award. This award is an incentive for me to work harder to support women’s causes, especially those, which empower them economically and consolidate their role as a partner in the field of economic and sustainable development. I owe this recognition to H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Mother of the Nation, UAE.”
H.E. DR SULTAN AL JABER

GOPICHAND P. HINDUJA CO-CHAIRMAN, HINDUJA GROUP OF COMPANIES, UK
“I am proud to receive the ABLF Lifetime Achievement Award; success is a journey and not a milestone. In 1961, when I came here with my father, Dubai was nothing more than a desert. I really admire the founders of the UAE, as what they have done here is a lesson for the rest of Asia to learn and emulate in the domain of infrastructure.”
H.E. DR THAKSIN SHINAWATRA FORMER PRIME MINISTER, THAILAND
“I would like to commend the ABLF for organising this Asia-wide initiative. An Asia-wide platform has not been created for many years. I initiated Asian cooperation dialogue during my tenure as Prime Minister in 2003 and invited all the Asian countries to join. That was for a political track; but for the business track, the ABLF is a great platform to bring business people together.” H.E. HESHAM ABDULLA AL QASSIM VICE CHAIRMAN AND MD, EMIRATES NBD, UAE
“My experience as Vice Chairman and MD of the largest bank in the UAE has taught me that the pursuit of excellence is a continuous commitment and requires focused team effort. The ABLF provides me and my team further impetus to continue to raise the standard of excellence in all that we do.” *Titles and designations of all winners are as per position held at the time of receiving the awards.
