President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan said developments would not affect delivery of basic services to citizens.
He was accompanied by General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, during a meeting with residents of the Western Region.
Sheikh Khalifa made assurance over new projects in real estate, tourism and services sectors. These projects, he said, would be implemented in a manner that would add value to the national economy. "The projects would bring new investment opportunities to citizens of the area," he said.
He stressed the need to train youth to cope with the nature of projects that were being implemented.
With adequate training and skills, he said, the young men and women of the Western Region would be able to make creative moves to take up opportunities offered by the projects.
