HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, will on Monday mark the 10th anniversary of his accession to Ruler of Dubai. Dubai has grown rapidly in the past 10 years to become a centre for tourism, trade and business and now has some of the world’s most iconic landmarks, including the world’s tallest building. To mark the occasion UAE President HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan has congratulated Sheikh Mohammed, “wishing him greater benevolence towards his country and his people in the coming decade,” UAE news agency WAM reported. WAM added that Sheikh Khalifa thanked the Ruler of Dubai for the advanced administrative, governmental, and developmental experiences he delivered during the past 10 years. In a statement, Sheikh Khalifa said: “My brother His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has completed 10 years of ruling and leading a rational and sophisticated government, one of the most advanced and efficient governments in managing its services, with the testimony of prestigious international organisations. “During 10 years, he also established transparent systems of government administration in performance and quality standards, smart services, and establishing programmes to prepare future generations. “In 10 years of governance, my brother Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid managed to raise the standard of the government’s competitiveness internationally by establishing institutions and work teams that focus on satisfying citizens and making them happy.” He added: “My brother Sheikh Mohammed completes 10 years in leading a successful, balanced and sustainable national economy and an efficient financial government policy using his teams of ministers and officials. During these 10 years my brother Sheikh Mohammed stood out with his unique government philosophy in which the function of government officials is to bring happiness to citizens, and where government agencies are managed like the private sector.” Sheikh Khalifa also highlighted that each year on his accession day, Sheikh Mohammed takes the opportunity to thank others, including mothers, the soldiers and the protectors of the nation, which ignites feelings of pride and enthusiasm in them. “Today, we say to him, thank you Mohammed bin Rashid for all that you have offered the UAE, Arab and Islamic nations, and for the entire world,” said the President. “Thank you for your administrative, humanitarian, economic, developmental and intellectual experiences.” There is also a #ThankUShkMohd hashtag trending on social media in the UAE. news@7days.ae
