“On Union Pledge Day, we are reminded that the foundations of the UAE were built on a shared belief: that unity creates strength, and that cooperation creates opportunity. The vision of our Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and the Rulers of the Emirates helped shape a nation whose achievements have made it a global benchmark for progress, stability, and development.
The legacy of the Union is not only reflected in what has been achieved, but in the responsibility we share to shape what comes next. At the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy, we are guided by a long-term vision that recognises energy and water as fundamental enablers of economic growth, social wellbeing, and sustainable development. By supporting the continued evolution of these sectors, we help create the conditions for thriving communities, a competitive economy, and enduring prosperity across the emirate. By anticipating future challenges and opportunities, we help create the conditions for enduring prosperity and development.
As we mark this occasion, we reaffirm our commitment to the principles that have guided the UAE’s journey since its founding and to advancing Abu Dhabi’s development in support of the nation’s broader ambitions. Inspired by the spirit of the Union, we will continue to guide the evolution of the energy and water sectors, fostering the resilience, sustainability, and innovation needed to support the nation’s future prosperity. In doing so, we honour the legacy of our Founding Fathers and contribute to a future that is prosperous, resilient, and defined by opportunity.”
