The President stressed that these principles had been firmly established in the UAE since its inception, and were considered key pillars of its growth and development.

His Highness also called upon the ambassadors to present a positive image of the UAE and its people, in addition to building bridges of understanding with the countries of their posting. His Highness said the UAE was keen to build effective partnerships with different countries, and added that its ambassadors and representatives abroad had a great responsibility to facilitate this.

The legal oath was taken by Salem Saeed Musabeh Al Mahyoubi Al Shamsi, UAE Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Anwar Othman Barout Salim Al Baroudi, UAE Ambassador to the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Salem Ali Khamis Obaid Al Shamsi, UAE Ambassador to the Republic of Angola; and Rahma Abdul Rahman Al Shamsi, UAE Ambassador to the Republic of the Maldives.

They also said they would embody the principles of His Highness the President in advocating peace and cooperation at the regional and international levels.
