Abu Dhabi: The future today

It is about thinking about Abu Dhabi for the coming five years as well as for 2020 and 2030. It is about thinking for this generation and for the future generations. Here comes the planning project, which is the title of all projects and the one that leads to them. The preludes are very genuine and the results are firm.

It is in this way that the sublime directives that reflect the approach of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, may Allah protect him, turn into giant projects on the ground. Yesterday, the decisions of the Executive Council under the chairmanship of His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and Chairman of the Executive Council, underscored the need for careful planning prior to and concurrently with implementation.

According to the decisions, the image of the coming five years is quite clear, and the objective, as stressed by Mohammed Bin Zayed, is man. The citizen is the goal, the basis and the big title. The citizen is the focus of the development process. This is Abu Dhabi and the UAE usually, and in this way our country provides the optimal model at the level of the region and the territory.

Thank Allah for the blessings of prosperity, security and stability. On the other side, citizens are required to make a maximum effort at work, beginning with self-development so as to be geared up for the new phases of the renewed national action.

Citizen-oriented development is the title and the details include hundreds of billions of dirhams for capital projects and housing projects. Marking the year of Emiratization, the Executive Council has the good news of providing five thousand job opportunities for citizens.

It is about the integration of development projects within a firm awareness of what is most important comes first and within a deep understanding of priorities. What is most necessary comes first, followed by the necessary, and the march towards achieving the citizen’s welfare and the progress of the nation.
