UAE Government's Annual Meetings: Strengthening Strategies & Global Partnerships

The UAE Government’s Annual Meetings commenced today in Abu Dhabi, uniting over 500 prominent officials from across the nation. The meetings opened with a special Cabinet session, chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. During this gathering, the UAE Cabinet approved a new National Anti-Narcotics Strategy aimed at intensifying efforts against drug trafficking both domestically and internationally.

This strategic move builds on the prior establishment of the National Council Against Drugs, introduced by Sheikh Mohammed during a Cabinet meeting in June 2023. The strategy seeks to bolster deterrence against drug dealers through a comprehensive approach involving federal and local authorities.

In addition to this initiative, the Cabinet ratified 22 international agreements. These agreements cover a range of partnerships in economic and commercial sectors, as well as cooperative efforts in legal, judicial, educational, and research fields. They also include memoranda of cooperation in energy and competitiveness with 17 countries, reflecting the UAE’s commitment to strengthening global partnerships.

On his official X account, Sheikh Mohammed highlighted the significance of the annual meetings, describing them as “a crucial national gathering” that reinforces cooperation between federal and local bodies, which he noted as "an essential path for accelerating the UAE’s development."

The UAE continues to enhance its global presence and diplomatic ties, emphasizing its dedication to building strong international bridges in an ever-evolving global landscape.
