(Abu Dhabi) – His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has lauded the achievement of happiness for Emiratis which he described as an approach followed by the founding fathers of the UAE, a vision in all government sectors, levels and institutions as well as a manner of work that governs all of our policies and decisions.
He was commenting on the results of the United Nation’s second “World Happiness Report” in which UAE tops the list of happiest Arab countries and ranks 14th globally. “Achieving happiness, welfare and dignified living for nationals and their families is the preoccupation of the President, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This [ranking] would not have been possible without the efforts of sincere men, excellent teamwork and full coordination and integration between all local and federal government sectors”, Sheikh Mohammed said.
“Our goal is to achieve the happiness of our people, and their satisfaction is the gauge of our success. Countries can only be built with happy and satisfied people. Happiness of individuals is only the start for a stable, productive and safe society,” Sheikh Mohammed added.
