Women empowered is the key to success for any society. Enhanced participation of women in public sphere including politics, business and culture is need of the hour.

This was stated by Pakistan's Ambassador to the UAE, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, during a ceremony held in Ajman to honoured women achievers.

The Pakistani ambassador was the chief guest at the Danube Properties Dubai’s Global Women Achiever Awards 2024 arranged in association with Pardais News to mark International Women’s Day in Ajman. The ambassador highlighted the need for enhanced role of women in various fields and walks of life.

“The world would be more peaceful and better place to live in, if women have a larger role to play in the public sphere including politics, business and culture. With their enhanced role, the world will certainly be much better than what we have today,” said Tirmizi.

Congratulating the organisers of the event, the ambassador said that recognition of women achievers has given a very positive message as not only Pakistani but women from other nationalities were also represented at the ceremony.

“Acknowledging women from various nationalities was the most attractive feature of today’s event,” stressed Tirmizi. 

Appreciating the diversity and peaceful living of people from around 200 countries of the world, the ambassador said that this factor alone has made UAE an exemplary role model of peaceful coexistence amongst communities of the world.

On the occasion, Tirmizi also extended warm felicitations to high achievers and awards winning women including Emirati and expatriate business, social and community leaders.
