meaning of political and development work and its relation to work and achievement of the

His Excellency added: “The visit to the Kingdom of Bahrain served as an essential step in the

process of empowering the UAE youth in the parliamentary sphere. This is consistent with our

goal of fostering national identity, good citizenship, and empowerment of UAE youth. The visit

was a unique opportunity for educating young people about the political and government

activities as well as the best practices utilised in this field. This is in accordance with the wise

leadership’s guidance and vision to empower youth, enhance their abilities, and qualify them
to take up the responsibility to be active partners in contributing to the decision-making

process and the overall development process. We truly appreciate and value the role of the

Shura Council of the Kingdom of Bahrain for their fruitful cooperation in promoting

parliamentary awareness.”
