Speaking at the World Governments Summit in Dubai, he offered a direct message to citizens and new residents, including daily arrivals of high-net-worth movers. \u201cDo not worry. Your family, your faith, your industry, and your wealth are secure. You are safe, within the unbreakable fortress of the UAE,\u201d he said.

He framed stability as costly to achieve yet valuable for society and the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sheikh Saif paid tribute to President His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, calling him the guardian who keeps the national fortress strong. \u201cStability comes at a very high cost, yet its rewards are immensely valuable,\u201d he said. He praised His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for enabling the country to hit non-oil trade targets five years early. The speech linked leadership, service, and social cohesion.

Sheikh Saif said the UAE completed an \u201cartificial intelligence pyramid\u201d on five layers: clean energy, chips, infrastructure, models, and applications. Artificial intelligence refers to software systems that perform tasks like prediction, pattern detection, or content generation. He argued that the UAE is now a trusted hub for sensitive data, handled \u201clike embassies protected by law.\u201d Chips are the processors that power AI models. Infrastructure covers data centers and networks. Models are algorithms trained on large datasets, while applications bring them into daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Deputy PM highlighted non-oil foreign trade that surged over 26 percent to exceed $1 trillion. He cited national strengths in Concentrated Solar Power, nuclear energy production, and aluminum manufacturing. According to him, President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed\u2019s vision shaped an industrial identity that places AI at the core of growth. The UAE now ranks first globally across hundreds of competitiveness indicators and exports to more than 180 countries, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sheikh Saif traced the path from early schooling in tents to space achievements. He pointed to MBZ-Sat at the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre as a recent milestone. The story underscored knowledge, tolerance, and rule of law as the bedrock of a resilient society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He described the UAE as a champion of global peace and a leading provider of humanitarian aid. The country supported more than 30 nations. For Gaza, he said assistance exceeds $3 billion\u201446 percent of total global aid to the enclave\u2014along with over 150 tons of supplies and six water desalination plants. He also thanked Kuwait for early support in health and education, and paid respects to its leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The address blended reassurance with measurable targets. It tied family life to national security and linked industrial policy to trust in institutions.
