Anwar Gargash said the UAE, through its leadership, vision, and balanced approach, has strengthened its position as an influential and constructive regional and global actor. He added that the country has been able to turn challenges into opportunities while building a developmental and civilisational model based on openness, tolerance, and sustainable partnerships.
He added that the UAE’s experience is founded on conscious leadership, strategic independence, economic openness, and investment in people and future-focused sectors.
Despite ongoing regional and global challenges, he said the UAE has demonstrated strong readiness and deep national cohesion, and will continue to move forward confidently toward greater progress and prosperity.
Anwar Gargash concluded by emphasising the role of youth in the country’s next phase of development, describing them as key partners in preserving national achievements and advancing the UAE’s progress.

Sultan bin Saif Al Neyadi said the UAE has maintained a consistent national approach for over five decades, built on a clear vision and firm principles, while also remaining flexible and adaptive in responding to change and preparing for the future.
He said the country’s balanced positions reflect the wisdom of its leadership and have helped establish a strong and sustainable presence at both regional and global levels, grounded in investment in people as the foundation of development and a central pillar of national policy.
