UAE Diplomacy Shines at the 79th United Nations General Assembly: A Commitment to Global Progress

“Kudos to the Sons of Zayed!” 

This phrase resonates deeply with us as Emiratis, especially after witnessing the impactful presence of our delegation at the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York. Led by His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, the UAE delegation concluded its participation with a series of high-level discussions and meetings, demonstrating our commitment to fostering global cooperation and tackling the challenges facing our world today.

The UAE’s presence at the UNGA wasn’t just about attending; it was about offering real, actionable solutions to some of the most pressing issues. Whether it was ensuring that humanitarian aid reaches those in need without obstacles, addressing the climate crisis, promoting global health and well-being, or preventing and resolving conflicts through peaceful means—the UAE came with a message of hope and actionable plans to create a better world for everyone.

Our diplomatic efforts at the UN have always been characterized by a desire to build bridges, and this year was no different. The UAE delegation spoke on behalf of the values we hold dear—peace, progress, and unity. These are the values that drive our diplomacy, and they were evident as the UAE proposed solutions and urged the world to act on issues that affect us all.

The role of Emirati diplomacy is not only about promoting our national interests but also about spreading a message of peace, harmony, and optimism. We have been fortunate to witness the UAE’s rise as a beacon of development, and at the UNGA, this inspiring journey was shared with the world. The delegation worked tirelessly to foster strong bonds with our brothers and friends across the globe, based on mutual understanding, cooperation, and respect.

The success of the UAE’s participation at the 79th UNGA is yet another chapter in our growing influence as a nation committed to building a better future for all. From proposing initiatives that ensure the smooth delivery of humanitarian aid to advocating for climate action, from enhancing global health to promoting peaceful solutions to conflicts—our message was clear: the UAE is ready to contribute and lead in addressing global challenges.
