KUWAIT, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 23rd May, 2025) Suhail Mohamed Al Mazrouei, Minister of
Energy and Infrastructure, led the UAE delegation participating in the 23rd meeting of GCC Housing Ministers, held
in Kuwait.

During his participation, Al Mazrouei emphasised the UAE leadership's commitment to supporting and strengthening
joint Gulf cooperation, particularly in the housing sector, considering it a fundamental pillar for achieving social
stability and sustainable development. He commended the progress achieved in GCC countries within this vital field
and reaffirmed the UAE’s aspiration to maintain coordination and support for initiatives that enhance quality of life and
promote integrated urban development.

Al Mazrouei said, “The leadership of the UAE places the housing sector at the highest priority, as it is one of the key
strategic pillars for enhancing quality of life and ensuring family and social stability. The country continues to develop
innovative housing programmes and initiatives that meet citizens' needs in accordance with the highest standards of
quality and sustainability, in line with the 'We the UAE 2031' vision.”

He further emphasised that the UAE’s housing efforts are closely aligned with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals, particularly Goal 11: “Sustainable Cities and Communities”, through the provision of safe,
affordable housing supported by sustainable infrastructure.

Al Mazrouei also highlighted that national housing projects in the UAE embrace principles of the green economy,
smart building technologies, and energy and water efficiency. These efforts strengthen the country’s capacity to
address climate challenges and promote long-term sustainability for future generations.

On the sidelines of the ministerial meeting, the winning projects of the GCC Housing Award (6th Cycle, 2024–2025)
were announced. This cycle focused on ‘Digital/Smart Applications and Technologies in Housing Projects and
Programmes’. The UAE secured second place for its “Manzili Bundle”, an innovative model offering
integrated housing services.
