“On Union Pledge Day, we remember the wise vision of this nation’s Founding Fathers, who came together to establish the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on strong pillars of unity, cooperation and harmony. This historic step was driven by an unwavering resolve and a firm belief that forming the Union was the ideal path towards achieving the ambitions of the people of the country, ensuring them a dignified life, prosperity and sustainable development.

This cherished national occasion emphasises the significance of protecting the remarkable achievements made through the Union’s approach. These accomplishments span all aspects of life and key sectors, strengthening the UAE’s position as a leading global destination for living, investment, and innovation. It further underscores the need for reinforcing the values of belonging, loyalty and national responsibility among younger generations.

At the Ministry of State for Federal National Council Affairs, this occasion renews our motivation and steadfast commitment to serving this nation and its citizens. It inspires us to continue our sincere efforts to foster a culture of national participation and raise awareness on the Union’s history and its achievements. We fulfil this through our role in promoting integration and cooperation between the Government and the Federal National Council (FNC), while enhancing awareness of parliamentary life and political participation. We also reaffirm our robust commitment to reinforcing the UAE’s position and supporting its journey towards a future defined by prosperity, progress and well-being.

On this national occasion, we extend our warmest congratulations and best wishes to our wise leadership, the people of the UAE, and all residents of the UAE.”
