Qassim says: "UAE is moving in the right direction and it has diversified its economy – creating jobs, reducing inflation and increasing GDP – whilst some of our neighbouring countries are in a turmoil, UAE continues to reform its institutions and health, education and legislative systems so it can be one of the top governments of the world."

Qassim was director of the department of economic legislation at the UAE ministry of economy from late 2010 to June 2013 and is deciding where to go next. She visited the UK in October as part of a future international leaders programme organised by the Foreign Office."
