'Govt work must match national agenda'

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has emphasised the importance of coordination, doubling national efforts nationwide and developing government work mechanism in accordance with national agenda to achieve the UAE's aspirations. 

Sheikh Mohammed made the remark on Monday at Emirates Towers in Dubai while reviewing the steps of implementing the national agenda which was launched last January for seven years in line with the U.A.E. Vision 2021 that coincides with the Golden Jubilee of the UAE.

Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Gargawi, Minister for Cabinet Affairs, and Khalifa Saeed Suleiman, Director- General of the Department of Protocol and Hospitality in Dubai, attended the meeting.

The national agenda includes projects in the educational, health, economic, police, housing, infrastructure and government service sectors.

Sheikh Mohammed said, " I am pleased to be familiarised with these findings, which make us closer to our objective represented in achieving our national vision. This is a good start, but the accomplishment of our goals to make our people the happiest people in the world, and to make our country among the developed countries, require hard work and double efforts with an unwavering determination towards the future."

" I have confidence in Emiratis and their role in serving the country. They are true partners who work together and under one umbrella to contribute to the UAE's success after achieving UAE Vision 2021," he said.

The Vice President also urged all public officials in government departments to implement the national agenda in the field, and follow-up work progress to achieve the goals in time.

He also emphasised that the implementation of the national agenda and development of government work will be under his follow-up.

Sheikh Mohammed added, " We affirmed while launching the national agenda of UAE Vision 2021 on the importance of working as one team to achieve the goals. And today we underscore that innovation and outstanding performance represent the way to achieve the aspirations of the UAE's leadership and people."

The team work reviewed the steps and efforts which safeguard the implementation of national agenda, including the coordination with the federal government, and local departments in the country, as well as organising preliminary workshops to attain a comprehensive and sustainable development nationwide.
