H.H. Sheikh Mohammed announces dates for next WGS

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has announced that the next World Governments Summit will be hosted between February 11 and February 13, 2025.

Mohammad bin Abdullah Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and Chairman of the WGS Organisation, said the Summit continues to cement its status as a global benchmark for improving government work and formulating long-term strategies of constructive international cooperation.

He said it reflects the visions and directives of the UAE leadership to empower governments and highlights their role in leading change and creating a better future.

Al Gergawi said the Summit has proved, over its successful run for 11 years so far, that collaboration between governments is the only path to empowering people and ensuring a better tomorrow for future generations. “This is the UAE’s message, which we continue to reflect by sharing our government’s successful experience."

This year’s Summit hosted over 4,000 experts from 140 governments, 85 international organisations and 700 global corporations taking part in more than 110 plenary sessions and interactive dialogues. 

"We are committed to continue adding remarkable initiatives that reflect key challenges, during every edition of the World Governments Summit, which continues to lead as a platform for sharing knowledge and inspiring change around the world," Al Gergawi added.
