00:00In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:15First of all, I am very happy to be in this historical area,

00:25which was raised by our fathers and grandfathers.

00:33All our great-grandfathers were raised in this area.

00:40They protected it from the enemies, and you saw how they did it.

00:46Yesterday's coffee and tea were a welcome to our presence in this area.

00:56Today, there was a cloud, and the weather was very good.

01:03It was a desert weather.

01:05Honestly, we are proud of the first ones who lived in this land and protected it.

01:17All our great-grandfathers, as I told you,

01:20and the great-grandfathers of Sheikh Khalifa, Husayf, Mansur, and Mohammed,

01:24they are from this area.

01:26How did they live and how did they overcome the difficulties of life in this area?

01:32But the important thing is that they protected it.

01:36I am very happy to be here.

01:43This is not just a sitting and going out,

01:48but after we talked, and you were clear in your views,

01:59of course, the UAE has achieved a lot since its founders,

02:09and we only continue what the founders of this country started.

02:23We must remember this legacy well,

02:28and we continue to serve this country and this people.

02:36We were on a journey, these are the years we spent in it,

02:43with your presence, and we reached what we reached,

02:50but now we continue this journey with a stronger determination and a clearer vision.

02:57I say now that there are some words that say that there is a change in my ministry.

03:08I tell you that there is no change in my ministry at the present time,

03:12but every minister with his ministry is evaluating,

03:18and there is a strategic evaluation, and there is an evaluation of all ministries.

03:23This is what I know, and you know, and the people know, and the media knows.

03:30For this reason, those who are short-sighted cannot serve their country,

03:34their country, and their people, while they are serving the people.

03:39I am not an arrogant minister, but there may be a change.

03:46Now, we are all on a journey, and we all have a clear strategy in front of us,

03:52and as Lakhman Soura said, the strategy is changing with our understanding of time,

03:59and our understanding of this journey.

04:01Of course, as a country, we have accomplished,

04:09and every achievement and progress must be for the envy,

04:15and we have seen in the media who says this and that about us,

04:20but we do not listen, because we are confident of ourselves and confident of our people.

04:26The ambitious nations do not sit on their achievements.

04:34What we have accomplished, we have accomplished,

04:37and in the past, it is in the past,

04:41but history writes that it is in the present and in the future.

04:52The goal of this vision, as you mentioned yesterday,

04:55is the human being and the investment of any country in the human race.

05:03We say that this vision is for the human being,

05:10and it is the axis of our thinking and interest in the vision,

05:14which begins with the human being and ends with the human being.

05:18Our goal is to achieve good and prosperity for the human being,

05:22for the Emirati human being, and to strengthen the foundations of the unity

05:26in which we are protected and protected.

05:31This means that we must be stronger in this unity,

05:40and it is also important that there is a strong social connection

05:46between the families and the members of society.

05:49Cooperation is an important issue for us as a people,

05:52and this comes in line with the vision of my brother,

05:56His Excellency Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan,

05:58in strengthening social cooperation.

06:02We have reached what we have reached, we have learned,

06:06but today we must have social cooperation,

06:12and I have experience in my work groups,

06:20and you have your own work groups.

06:22Honestly, they give you a strong sense of trust

06:29that they respect anyone in this world.

06:33We must be one of the best countries in the world.

06:36Why not?

06:38We have the energy, we have the knowledge, and we have the experience.

06:43We are the state of the Emirates,

06:47where a large number of different nationalities live,

06:51and we must take what is good from them

06:55and leave their customs and traditions to them.

06:59In light of this, our Arab and Islamic roots are our original wealth,

07:05and we must take good care of our moderate Islamic values,

07:11our national identity, and our Arabic language in the next generations.

07:18As we said yesterday,

07:20because the world is coming,

07:22our customs and traditions must continue,

07:26and we must preserve them.

07:28In the Arabic language,

07:30the Emirates will remain faithful to the vision of their fathers and founders,

07:34and their efforts and sacrifices to establish a strong alliance

07:40that will continue to play a key role in national security.

07:47In 2021, the Emirates will be 50 years old.

07:55The Council of Ministers must plan for this day,

08:09which is 50 years old,

08:14for the state of the Emirates,

08:17and praise be to God, for the sake of something.

08:20This alliance is a key pillar of national security.

08:25This is our goal and our motto.

08:31We must be one of the best countries,

08:35and not one of the top 9 or 10.

08:37We must be one of the best countries,

08:39because if we are not the first, we will not be.

08:41If we are not determined to be the first,

08:43we will retreat, no matter what.

08:45The Emirates will look forward to a long and healthy life

08:49and a new era for all its citizens,

08:52through their equal opportunities to obtain health and treatment services

08:57that will reach the highest levels in the world,

09:01while focusing on increasing awareness of health risks

09:05and ensuring safety.

09:10First-class education.

09:12The Emirates will provide equal opportunities to obtain first-class education

09:18that will increase their academic achievement and expand their horizons,

09:22and enrich their personalities,

09:24so that they will be richer and more complete,

09:27and so that they will be able to contribute effectively to the life of their society.

09:35A rich and complete life.

09:37The Emirates will provide the highest quality of life,

09:42a rich social and cultural environment,

09:45distinguished government services,

09:48and a world-class infrastructure.

09:53A sustainable infrastructure for the coming generations.

09:57The Emirates will be active in the field of the Green Revolution

10:02and its responsibilities in protecting nature

10:05and limiting the impact of climate change

10:08on the green environment and the environmental system

10:12with the aim of inheriting a sustainable environment for the coming generations.

10:41Our meeting today is special,

10:46especially our feeling in this place.
