The Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) aims to find a balance between the need to implement proven business theories and hire young, committed people, said Marwan bin Jassim Al Sarkal, CEO of Shurooq.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India UAE (Dubai) organised the Global Young Leadership Summit on Saturday to commemorate the 154th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, a global youth icon.

Amit Malviya, national head of information technology and digital communication at the Bharatiya Janata Party, said: "Swami Vivekananda was somebody who thought through the practicality of ideas and solutions and why and how they need to be implemented. He spoke of value-based leadership much ahead of our times."

He added: "I am delighted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the relationship between India and the UAE has risen to the next level. We look forward to welcoming His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crowne Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, to our Republic Day celebrations on January 26, 2017."
