legal requirements and adapts to likely changes going into the future while ensuring

alignment with the UAE Constitution and the applicable federal and local laws in

Dubai.

General Secretariat, and local, federal, regional, and international government

bodies involved in shaping legislation and agreements. Additionally, they ensure the

consistent and effective application of laws in Dubai, supporting the fulfilment of

the intended legislative objectives.
