In his official statement, Sheikh Mohamed directed a message to everyone who lives in the UAE, citizens and residents alike. He said the nation’s top priority remains the safety of all people within its borders.
“The UAE places its security and the protection of all citizens, residents, and visitors at the very top of its priorities,” he stated. He added that the country is fully prepared to face any threat that may arise.
He continued by thanking the nation’s defense and security forces, as well as emergency teams and public institutions, for their commitment and cooperation. “They represent the highest standards of readiness and cooperation. We are truly proud of them,” he said.
Sheikh Mohamed also noted his appreciation for what he described as the awareness and unity shown by both Emiratis and residents. He emphasized that the community’s response has reflected the shared values that define the UAE.
“I would also like to underscore my sincere gratitude for the awareness shown by our community of Emiratis and our resident brothers and sisters,” he said. “Partners in this nation who have expressed their genuine love and loyalty to the UAE through both words and actions.”
He ended by saying that everyone who contributes to the country’s growth and well-being, regardless of background, plays a vital role in its identity. “In the UAE, everyone is Emirati through their love for this land and their contributions to it,” he said.
