Several UAE ministers and officials said that the visit of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak, the Mother of the Nation, Chairwoman of the General Women's Union (GWU), President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation (FDF), to the Republic of Turkey marks a pivotal milestone in the trajectory of UAE-Turkey relations.

The visit carries profound humanitarian messages and reinforces the values of mutual understanding and cooperation, particularly in the fields of women's empowerment, family welfare, and the promotion of shared human values.

The ministers highlighted that Sheikha Fatima represents an exceptional model of female leadership, having dedicated her efforts - both nationally and internationally - to advancing the empowerment of women and families.

Her meetings with senior Turkish officials, most notably President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and First Lady Emine Erdoğan, provided fruitful opportunities to exchange visions on key social and developmental issues.
