The United Arab Emirates has unveiled a new initiative titled “Pledge and Commitment,” aimed at rallying citizens and residents to express their support for President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This campaign underscores his pivotal role in enhancing the nation’s security, stability, and international stature. Launched by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the initiative was introduced at a significant event at the Abu Dhabi Energy Centre, which drew a diverse audience of over 4,800 individuals, including citizens, residents, students, investors, academics, and business leaders.
Centrally focused on President Sheikh Mohamed’s contributions to national progress, the campaign is anchored in four main principles: fostering unity and coexistence, drawing inspiration from leadership values, reinforcing civic responsibility and national identity, and showing gratitude for the nation’s prosperity and stability. Following its official introduction, the campaign extended its reach online through a dedicated website and QR code, facilitating digital participation from people across the UAE. Organisers have outlined plans to sustain the initiative through collaboration with companies, universities, and community organisations, complemented by multilingual online engagement and public events.
This nationwide campaign emerges in the wake of a period marked by national solidarity, following regional security tensions encountered earlier in the year. In response to calls from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, public displays of patriotism have been increasingly visible, with UAE flags prominently displayed at homes, offices, and public buildings, symbolizing the nation’s resilience and unity.
The pledge itself is a testament to the loyalty and support for President Sheikh Mohamed, portraying him as a leader dedicated to safeguarding the nation’s security and fostering progress. He is celebrated as an exemplar of commitment and service to the country. Participants who choose to sign the pledge online receive a digital certificate of appreciation, which they can download and share, further amplifying the message of unity and gratitude.
