Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, supreme council member and ruler of Sharjah, on Monday issued two Emiri decrees appointing Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi as Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the emirate’s Petroleum Council.
On his appointment, Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed said: “We have grown up and been raised on the values of our wise ruler who instilled in us the principles of belonging and partnership and the ensuing individual and collective responsibilities.”
“Every resident of Sharjah, regardless of their position and occupation, is responsible for the success of the cultural revival project in the United Aram Emirates,” he added.
He is also responsible for the formation of the Emirati identity and culture and their image before the world. He is also responsible for the community’s stability and security.
Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed said his appointment marks a new starting point in his journey in working for the good of the emirate and its society.
This journey can only achieve its goals through maintaining the approach of partnership and cooperation that was established by the governor of Sharjah over 40 years ago, he remarked.
Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed is a member of Sharjah Executive Council and head of Sharjah’s Media Council.
He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from Arkansas State University in Arkansas, US, and a Master of Science Degree in Computer Information Systems from the University of Detroit Mercy in Michigan, US.
