H.E. Lieutenant General Mohamed Ahmed Al Marri, Director General of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Dubai, emphasized that true leadership lies in serving people and spreading happiness. Inspired by the philosophy of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum—“Help people and make them happy”—Al Marri has embedded this principle in every aspect of GDRFA’s mission.
Al Marri’s commitment to generosity, care, and efficiency was recently praised by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid in a tweet highlighting his humanitarian efforts, open-door policy, and exceptional service. In response, Al Marri stated: “Leadership is not a privilege but a commitment to serve the nation and its people.”
He described GDRFA as a gateway that embodies Dubai’s spirit of possibility and hospitality, welcoming travelers from around the world with warmth and care. Al Marri stressed that Dubai’s reputation isn’t just built on infrastructure but on the quality of its services and the lasting impact on people’s hearts.
“Dubai is a story of ambition and inspiration,” he concluded, reaffirming GDRFA’s mission to make the UAE a global symbol of hope, humanity, and generosity.
