“We extend our hand of friendship to all countries that share our values of peaceful coexistence and mutual respect, to achieve progress and prosperity” UAE President

The UAE’s journey, from difficult beginnings to a consequential & assertive state, was not an easy one. It reflects leadership, vision & discipline. Our resilience & strategic autonomy will ensure we navigate current regional challenges successfully, while continuing to drive stability & progress. And we remain confident in the direction we have set.

In light of current developments, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announces a travel ban on UAE nationals traveling to Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq. The Ministry calls on all UAE nationals currently in these countries to expedite their immediate return to the UAE.

The entry into force of the #UAE - #SouthKorea CEPA marks an important milestone in the strategic partnership between our two nations. The agreement will increase trade and investment flows, open new opportunities for our business communities and support continued growth in non-oil trade, which reached $6.9bn in 2025.

At the Delphi Economic Forum, @BadrJafar delivered a keynote on resilience, openness and the architecture of trust in a fragmenting world. The message: resilience is not improvised — it is designed. And in a Delphi moment, the choice between fragmentation and connection will not wait. في منتدى دلفي الاقتصادي، ألقى بدر جعفر كلمة رئيسية عن المرونة والدبلوماسية الاقتصادية والانفتاح والترابط العالمي، مؤكداً التزام #الإمارات بهندسة الثقة في عالم يتجه بتسارع نحو حالة من التشتت. الرسالة واضحة: المرونة لا تُرتجل، بل تُصمَّم، والتفوق على تحديات التشتت العالمي سيكون حليف الدول الملتزمة بتعزيز التعاون لا بالتراجع. هذه المرحلة حاسمة والخيار واحد: إما التشتت أو الترابط من أجل النمو والازدهار.

Joint Statement Following the Meeting Between the UK Foreign Secretary and the UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs mofa.gov.ae/en/MediaHub/Ne…

Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems. AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency. This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work. We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government. Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution. The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.

UAE Participates in AHLC Ministerial Meeting in Brussels mofa.gov.ae/en/mediahub/ne…

Abdullah bin Zayed received @ministerBZ, where they discussed the repercussions of the unprovoked and terrorist Iranian attacks targeting the UAE and other countries in the region. The two sides also reviewed developments following the announcement of the ceasefire between the US and Iran, in addition to exchanging views on broader regional issues and their implications on security and stability. Discussions further addressed 🇦🇪–🇳🇱 relations and avenues to enhance continued cooperations.

The UAE’s security services have demonstrated once again that the threat from Iran is not limited to missiles and drones. It extends to attempts to destabilize our society from within. This is precisely why a conclusive outcome is essential.

It was a pleasure to meet H.E. Catherine Pégard, Minister of Culture of the French Republic. We discussed the longstanding cultural partnership between the UAE and France, as well as new ways to expand our cooperation in heritage, music and the museum sector.
