MOHAMMAD SWEARS IN NEW CABINET
The UAE’s new Cabinet took the oath before His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, yesterday.
The UAE’s new council of ministers took their oaths before His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, in Abu Dhabi yesterday.
His Highness Shaikh Mohamad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, was present during the swearing-in ceremony.
On his Twitter page, Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid said: “Today, I have attended the swearing-in ceremony of the new Cabinet ministers. The UAE government is entering a new phase and we are betting on such a work team to cross the next 50 years”.
“With the support of my brother Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed, the UAE government has been very fast in responding to the new global changes. We are among the top countries in the world in terms of quickly understanding impending challenges, taking proper decisions and resetting our priorities,” Shaikh Mohammad tweeted.
Earlier last week, Shaikh Mohammad announced the merger of ministries and departments in a Cabinet reshuffle to create a more agile government.
The new structure includes the closure of 50 per cent of government services centres and their transformation into digital platforms within two years, and the mergers of around 50 per cent of federal authorities with other authorities or ministries, in addition to the appointments of new ministers of state and CEOs of specialised sectors.
