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.
