Saleh Abdullah Al Abdooli, CEO of Etisalat Group, said, "Reaching the top is hard but maintaining a leadership position is harder. With the regional leadership of Etisalat, as a brand, it is a testimony to our continuous efforts in digital transformation and amplifying our efforts in the societies we serve by investing in new digital platforms, 5G technologies and global brand-building initiatives."

"This achievement also reinforces the synergy of operating companies across our footprint, creating brand loyalty and enhanced engagement with our customers. This is thanks to the UAE leadership’s support, vision and encouragement that helped Etisalat achieve this significant milestone surpassing some of the top renowned regional brands," Al Abdooli added.
