Kyiv. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – October 06, 2021 – Forums and Conferences
The conference, held in partnership with the United Nations and the European Union, focused on the role of women in societies, with the aim of helping to achieve equality in all types of leadership positions.
It was attended by Muhammad bin Abdul Karim Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League, and Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, former President of Croatia and activist working in the field of promoting women’s rights.
Al-Issa said that continuing efforts to enhance friendship and cooperation between nations and peoples are an urgent necessity for the peace of our world and the harmony of its diverse national societies.
He stressed that women have been marginalized throughout history, depriving societies of their skills and competencies. He added that their successes and influence were abundantly manifested on various levels.
“I am delighted to witness these historic changes here in person in Riyadh, and I would like to congratulate you for your contribution, efforts, and dedication to engaging women,” Grabar-Kitarovic said, referring to the positive changes taking place in Saudi Arabia.
She added, “I must say that when I came to the Kingdom two days ago, I came with a little misunderstanding, as my knowledge was based on what I read in the international media,” expressing appreciation for what has been achieved so far.
