plays <strong>and</strong> will increasingly play a pivotal role in international relations during <strong>the</strong> 21st century, thanks<br />
to <strong>the</strong> vision <strong>and</strong> leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. This<br />
privileged situation will give our cause greater visibility to an audience of some of <strong>the</strong> most influential<br />
leaders <strong>and</strong> decision-makers. Dubai is a natural partner for us as it also represents a haven of<br />
neutrality <strong>and</strong> stability in <strong>the</strong> Middle-East region, key elements for peace-building that <strong>Peace</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Sport</strong> strives to preserve throughout all its activities.”<br />
