🇦🇪 Dubai is full of traffic and crowds again. Already missing the Iranian fireworks — they helped clear the city of the easily impressed. The UAE’s air defenses proved excellent under fire. For 0% tax, we get better protection than Europeans paying 50%.

Under the directives of the President of the UAE, we launch a new government model. Within two years, 50% of government sectors, services, and operations will run on Agentic AI, making the UAE the first government globally to operate at this scale through autonomous systems. AI is no longer a tool. It analyses, decides, executes, and improves in real time. It will become our executive partner to enhance services, accelerate decisions, and raise efficiency. This transformation has a clear timeline. Two years. Performance across government will be measured by speed of adoption, quality of implementation, and mastery of AI in redesigning government work. We are investing in our people. Every federal employee will be trained to master AI, building one of the world’s strongest capabilities in AI-driven government. Implementation will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, with a dedicated taskforce chaired by Mohammad Al Gergawi driving execution. The world is changing. Technology is accelerating. Our principle remains constant. People come first. Our goal is a government that is faster, more responsive, and more impactful.

Today, I chaired a meeting of The Executive Council, where we approved an AED 1 billion support package for Dubai’s business sector, to be rolled out from 1 April over the next three to six months. The measures are designed to strengthen the economy's resilience, readiness and agility. We also reviewed Dubai’s 2025 performance, with GDP rising by 5.4% to exceed AED 937 billion. Our message is clear: Dubai remains committed to supporting individuals, families and businesses with confidence and stability. With strong institutions and deep community ties, the emirate continues to grow, turning challenges into opportunities and emerging stronger than ever.

Told ya so. Loudly. Theatre headed towards negotiated end state Ain’t over yet. But this is the clearest de-escalation trigger yet Shame on the fear mongers

We are not a nation that bends to noise. We are a nation built on will. Missiles don’t shake us. Drones don’t define us. Threats don’t move us. The UAE stands firm, anchored in strength, guided by leadership, protected by those who never sleep so others can live in peace. We don’t panic. We don’t retreat. We rise, we respond, and we remain unbreakable. This is the UAE 🇦🇪
