"This year's ranking of The World's Most Powerful People highlights the consolidation of power in the hands of an elite few,” said Forbes Contributing Editor David Ewalt. “China's Xi Jinping ranks in first place for the first time, unseating Vladimir Putin, who held the top spot for four consecutive years. This also makes President Trump only No. 3 on the list, which is unprecedented only a year into his term.”
Sheikh Khalifa is the only leader from the UAE on this list.
The study said that the President of the UAE, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan is one of the Arab leaders who has contributed and continues to make generous contributions to local, Arab and international issues, adding that his significant efforts and contributions in building the UAE can not be overemphasised.
