The strategy of the Ministry of State for Federal National Council Affairs stems from the National Action Program announced by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan on 1 December 2005 to mark the 34th anniversary of the establishment of the United Arab Emirates Federation.
|
|
The speech included a plan for activating the role of the Federal National Council (FNC) to become a power that backs and supports the executive body. The strategic plan of the Ministry also emanates from the strategy of the UAE government declared by UAE Vice-President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, which aims to achieve sustainable and balanced development and secure prosperity for the people.
|
|
The ministry was established as per Federal Decree No (10) of 2006 on the UAE cabinet formation which included, for the first time, the establishment of a ministry concerned with the affairs of the FNC.
|
| The functions of the ministry are as follows: |
 |
Coordination between the government and the FNC |
 |
Participation in drafting legislations related to the role of the FNC |
 |
Supervision of media affairs linked to parliamentary practice |
