00:06I believe having a continuous forum for its 8th cycle

00:17We are very happy today to have this forum as a unified and sustainable platform

00:32and showcased the success of Emirati women in different sectors

00:38such as the nuclear energy, the space and the innovation and the future.

00:45On the other hand, the forum also shed the light on the success stories of Diwa women,

00:51those who were presenting their stories at Diwa Pavilion in Expo 2020

00:58and other female employees who have won the International Women in Engineering Day.
