UAE President and Ruler of Dubai discuss ways to develop the country
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, met at Al Marmoom Residence to discuss the country’s future development and ways to achieve prosperity for its people.
The top priority of the country’s leaders continues to be supporting the wellbeing of the people and developing the sectors on which people depend. The meeting was also attended by His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President of the UAE, Deputy Prime Minister and President of the Presidential Court.
It may be recalled that earlier this week, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and UAE Minister of Defence, announced an ambitious master plan to transform the emirate. Innovation will affect the education, real estate and transport sectors.
Sheikh Hamdan said Education Strategy 2033 aims to provide students and teachers with the tools needed to raise educational standards and develop the country’s next generation of leaders.
It will prioritise early career guidance and work to ensure that UAE students have every chance to compete for places at the best universities in the Emirates and around the world. The strategy will also include various opportunities for students, including vocational and technical schools that are internationally accredited.
‘Real Estate Strategy 2033’ aims to support Dubai’s goal of increasing real estate transactions to AED1 trillion ($227.2 billion) by 2033 and doubling the sector’s contribution to economic diversification.
This strategy includes the introduction of a number of programmes aimed at improving the quality of developments, increasing transparency, using data to better predict the market, integrating artificial intelligence into the sector, centralising data and offering high-quality assets.
The Dubai Cashless Strategy was also announced, which will see the emirate become one of the top five cashless cities in the world by 2033.
