      10 seconds ago

      A new direction in the UAE cabinet: Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan, takes centre stage.
      The United Arab Emirates recently underwent a significant cabinet reshuffle, with Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, popularly known as Fazza, acquiring two prominent positions. The Crown Prince of Dubai, was appointed Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, marking a new chapter in his leadership journey.

      الإخوة والأخوات … بعد التشاور مع أخي الشيخ محمد بن زايد رئيس الدولة حفظه الله وبعد مباركته واعتماده .. واستمراراً للتطوير المستمر في هيكلية حكومة دولة الإمارات .. نعلن اليوم عن تشكيل وزاري جديد في الدولة كالتالي :
      انضمام الشيخ حمدان بن محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم لحكومة دولة…
      — HH Sheikh Mohammed (@HHShkMohd) July 14, 2024

      Fazza’s appointment wasn’t the only noteworthy change. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs, was also named Deputy Prime Minister, solidifying his position as a key player in the UAE’s diplomatic landscape. This move reflects the government’s focus on maintaining strong international relations.

      The restructuring extended beyond the deputy positions. The Council for Education, Human Resources and Community Development saw a leadership change, with Sheikh Abdullah assuming the helm. This strategic move leverages his experience and ensures continuity in the crucial realm of education. Sheikha Mariam bint Mohamed bin Zayed was appointed as the Council’s vice president, further strengthening its leadership with a focus on future generations.
      The reshuffle also addressed the education sector directly. The Ministry of Education received a new leader in Sarah Al Amiri, previously the Minister of State for Public Education and Advanced Technology. This appointment signals a commitment to a more unified and streamlined approach to education within the UAE. Further streamlining came through the merging of the Emirates Foundation for School Education and the Federal Agency for Early Education with the Ministry of Education.
      Higher Education wasn’t left untouched either. Abdulrahman Al Awar was named acting Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, demonstrating the government’s dedication to fostering innovation and knowledge creation in the UAE. Beyond education, Ahmed Belhoul received additional responsibilities. While maintaining his role as President of the Emirates Space Agency, he was also appointed Minister of Sports and President of the Higher Colleges of Technology.This consolidation reflects the growing importance of both sports and technology within the UAE’s development strategy.
      The change in the cabinet also acknowledged the valuable contributions of previous leaders. Sara Al Musallam, who served as Minister of State for Early Education, was praised for her dedication, with well wishes extended for her future endeavors.
      Overall, the UAE’s cabinet reshuffle represents a strategic move towards a more unified and forward-thinking government. Fazza’s appointment as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense signifies the trust placed in his leadership, while the changes in other positions signal a renewed focus on education, diplomacy, innovation, and national security. The UAE, under this reshaped leadership, seems poised for continued growth and progress on the world stage.
