The UAE completes the year of scientific achievements with a distinguished success, which includes the success of the “Hope Probe” space travel, nuclear power generation, and development of the Corona vaccine marked the UAE’s entry into its Golden Jubilee in 2021. The UAE government’s launch the UAE vision 2021 since 2010, which focuses on 6 national priorities in the educational sector, health care, economic, government and police services, security, justice, community, and other sectors, indicates that the UAE is determined to become one of the best countries in the word on the fiftieth anniversary of its establishment. The UAE government’s purpose of the annual meeting is to monitor the level of progress in achieving the target of the national agenda and unify the efforts between working groups at the federal and local levels, in order to make the Emirati people and the residents happier and more satisfied not only at Arab or regional level but also at the global level.

The key to the success of the UAE in a region full of ideological conflicts, regional interventions, and terrorism is the constructive interaction between the wise leadership and the citizens and achieve the growing aspirations in Excellence and Distinction. The UAE will remain the same during the next five decades “the UAE centennial 2071” by transferring challenges into development opportunities based on future visions, as the UAE succeed to take its position within the Big Ten Club in the Yearbook report for global competitiveness 2020 issued by the global competitiveness center of the international institute for administrative development.

Leadership works proactively to ensure a good future for future generations which explains the community stability and comprehensive development that the UAE is experiencing, a place of security and safety that many people aspire to live in and resident from all over the world.
