Under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, Sheikh Ahmed Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai, inaugurated the Ilth Dubai International Project Management Forum (DIPMF), held under the theme 'Bridging Communities,' in the presence of dignitaries, heads of public entities, and senior executives from leading global companies.

Sheikh Ahmed was received upon his arrival at the venue at Madinat Jumeirah by Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai; and Abdulla Mohammed Al Basti, Secretary-General of The Executive Council of Dubai.
During the ceremony, a mural was unveiled before Sheikh Hamdan, tracing the evolution of public transport infrastructure in the emirate over the course of a century. Entitled 'A Century of Mobility in Dubai,' the mural highlights Dubai's legacy in developing road and transport infrastructure over time. The mural recounts the development of public mobility services, starting in the era of the late Sheikh Saeed Bin Maktoum Al Maktoum, who adopted a policy of openness and laid the foundations for the emirate’s sustained development, and through the era of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the architect of modern Dubai.
