The high competency and readiness of our armed forces is the product of a comprehensive national strategic vision that enabled our nation, with the help of Allah, to build a deterrent force with trained young men equipped with the latest munitions, systems and technologies.

I and my brothers and sisters, members of the Supreme Council, Rulers of the Emirates, continue to develop the capabilities of our armed forces in terms of weapons , training and equipment in order to enable them to carry out their national defense duties and their international humanitarian missions, which contribute to the maintenance of international peace and security.

We are proud of the achievements of our armed forces and their success in carrying out the tasks entrusted to them. They have contributed to enhancing the security and stability of our state, our people and our brothers in the Gulf Cooperation Council States and in helping the oppressed and supporting the needy. Our armed forces will always remain a symbol of national unity, supporting our brothers and friends. Loyalty of our armed forces will always be an honor, duty, and right to all citizens.
