<title>Testimonial</title>
<link><![CDATA[http:// www.wilforum.com/EventContent/Testimonials.aspx?id=82]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[<P align=justify><EM>“I’ve had the opportunity to travel to the West so often, but this is the first time I’ve come to the Arab world to network with women of all ages. It is such a delight to see these women talking about their parents wanting them to be dynamic and vibrant. When business women from the Arab world join hands with those from the Western world, I believe the world becomes more inclusive and that the conference has created a turning point. I want to thank naseba for providing me this great opportunity to interact with women leaders from the Arab World. I hope this leadership Forum becomes an annual event.”<BR></EM><FONT color=#c9252b>- Dr. Kiran Bedi, Indian Police Service</FONT></P>
<P align=justify><EM>“I am honoured to be here and was pleased with all the topics that were discussed and the participants I met at the event.”<BR></EM><FONT color=#c9252b>- Director of Corporate Communications, Kingdom Holding Company</P></FONT>]]></description>
