Over 500 officials to convene for UAE Government Annual Meetings

The seventh edition of the UAE Government Annual Meetings kicks off on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi, chaired by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

Taking place from November 4 to 6, the event will bring together over 500 senior officials from across the country to align national strategies and accelerate key priorities.

This year’s agenda focuses on emerging sectors like AI, healthcare, investment, and family welfare — all guided by the leadership’s vision for sustainable development and global competitiveness.

Mohammad Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs, said the meetings reflect the UAE’s commitment to proactive governance and improving quality of life, with sessions designed to foster innovation, institutional integration and national unity.

Highlights include strategic briefings, leadership panels and a special session on the UAE’s global narrative.

The event will also feature the launch of new initiatives and conclude with awards recognizing outstanding national teams and achievements in culture, creativity and AI.

Initiated in 2017, the UAE Government Annual Meetings serve as a national platform to unify government action and drive progress toward the 'We the UAE 2031' vision and the UAE Centennial 2071.
