Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid honours graduates of Government Leaders Programme

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, on Sunday honoured 250 graduates of the UAE Government Leaders Programme.

The graduates included UAE citizens employed by more than 120 federal, local and private sector institutions, Dubai Media Office reported.

Sheikh Mohammed urged the graduates to utilise the skills learnt in the programme to develop new projects and enhance the entities they work for.

The programme was established in 2008 to enhance the capabilities of leaders in different fields so they can spearhead change and build a better future for the country.

It allows participants to gain an understanding of new government trends, flexible leadership and smart decision making.

Sheikh Saif bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, also attended, along with several government officials.

Q&A with Dash Berlin

Welcome back. What was it like to return to RAK and to play for fans out here again?
It’s an amazing feeling to be back in the passionate UAE again. Seeing the fans having a great time that is what it’s all about.

You're currently touring the globe as part of your Legends of the Feels Tour. How important is it to you to include the Middle East in the schedule?
The tour is doing really well and is extensive and intensive at the same time travelling all over the globe. My Middle Eastern fans are very dear to me, it’s good to be back.

You mix tracks that people know and love, but you also have a visually impressive set too (graphics etc). Is that the secret recipe to Dash Berlin's live gigs?
People enjoying the combination of the music and visuals are the key factor in the success of the Legends Of The Feel tour 2018.

Have you had some time to explore Ras al Khaimah too? If so, what have you been up to?
Coming fresh out of Las Vegas where I continue my 7th annual year DJ residency at Marquee, I decided it was a perfect moment to catch some sun rays and enjoy the warm hospitality of Bab Al Bahr.
