To our people, our clients, and our communities across the Middle East: We stand by you. We are grateful for the resilience of our teams, and for the continued trust of the clients and partners we are proud to support across the region.

National identity is one of governments’ most powerful — and most misunderstood — assets. In collaboration with the @WorldGovSummit, the 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 is launching Being and Belonging, a practical framework that helps leaders work with national identity in a structured, actionable way. At its core, the framework enables governments to: • Deconstruct national identity into clear, workable dimensions • Understand how identity is expressed, experienced, and contested today • Identify pressure points that affect cohesion, trust, and belonging • Translate insight into concrete policy and institutional action The result is a clear blueprint to evolve national identity without diluting its essence — even amid rapid social, economic, and technological change. 👉 Explore 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝: worldgovernmentssummit.org/observer/repor… #NationalIdentity #WorldGovSummit #WGS2026
