High-achieving Union teams have been honoured for their readiness and contribution to protecting the UAE community and safeguarding national achievements.
His Highness Lieutenant General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, presented the teams with the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Medal during the UAE Government Annual Meetings in Abu Dhabi.
They were recognised for maintaining high levels of readiness and demonstrating their ability to coordinate efforts and respond quickly and effectively to a range of scenarios.
The selection also highlighted their positive impact on community protection and their contribution to supporting the UAE’s national achievements.
"The UAE leadership has set a clear standard for all institutions and entities: that every individual must be able to live their daily life with peace of mind, regardless of the situation, and that protecting human life is a responsibility we all share," said Sheikh Saif.
Honoured teams included the Armed Forces team, the National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) team, the aviation team in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the national cyber security team and the national logistics network team.
