the nation's people who collectively stand behind the wise leadership.

During the opening of the second regular session of the 18th legislative chapter of the Federal National Council, H.E.
commented: “This occasion marks the commencement of a brand-new era of national and institutional work, which
will build upon the achievements of previous legislative chapters, address the aspirations of the nation's people and
further bolster the Shura approach whose foundation was laid by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the

Father of the Nation and his brothers, the UAE's founding fathers”.

H.E. also stated that the role of the regular session complements the first one and will continue to build on the

successes and objectives of the previous session, with regard to integration, cooperation and concerted efforts
between the government and the Federal National Council, with an aim to catalyse the nation's growth. H.E. pointed

Zayed Al Nahyan's announcement that it will be extended throughout 2024.

H.E. said that both legislative terms are defined by a burgeoning culture of political participation, driven by the
political empowerment programme announced by the late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on the occasion of

the 34th National Day of the Union. H.E. further reiterated the pivotal role of the Ministry of State for Federal National
Council Affairs in strengthening cooperation between the government and the Federal National Council, promoting
integration between the legislative and executive authorities, and raising awareness about the importance of national
parliamentary life and the culture of political participation, to drive sustainable development, aligning with the wise

leadership's forward-looking vision.
