I spoke with @Bloomberg about my candidacy for UN Secretary-General and my belief that the office must be an active force for diplomacy and peace:
• “The Secretary-General has to be an actor rather than a spectator to the world’s crises.” That means keeping dialogue open, taking risks for peace and responding to crises with greater urgency. I also stressed that the Secretary-General and the Organization must be less risk-averse and willing to take political risks to achieve peace.
• I reaffirmed my commitment to independence: “I would govern with only a commitment to the UN and its Charter.”
• Asked about Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf’s tweet, I made clear that “I commit to engaging with Iran, like all Member States, to advance peace and stability.”
• Asked about Sudan, I stressed the scale of the crisis: “Sudan is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.” I underscored the famine conditions and the immense strain on neighbouring countries hosting refugees. I also reaffirmed my commitment: “I would put the UN’s full political and practical support behind ongoing efforts to reach a ceasefire and a credible and inclusive political process that reflects the democratic aspirations of the Sudanese people.”
I am standing to be Secretary-General because I believe this is a moment to act with greater urgency: to act earlier, bring people together across difference, and drive the work forward until it produces concrete results. That is how we rebuild trust in the United Nations and ensure it delivers meaningful change for the people it exists to serve.

تحية فخر واعتزاز لضباط وجنود قواتنا المسلحة الأبية، ولكل ضابط وشرطي ومسعف وإطفائي، فخرنا الذي نعتز به، سيوف الحق والحصن الحصين الذي يحمي الدار ويصون أمنها في وجه عدوان إيراني غاشم حاقد.
وكما قال الشاعر: وجدتهم أعطوا الشجاعة حقها.
To all those who call the UAE home and guests in our beloved nation.
The UAE places its security and the protection of all citizens, residents, and visitors at the very top of its priorities. With God’s grace, the UAE is fully prepared to confront these threats.
I extend my deepest appreciation to our brave armed forces, our committed security services, and all national institutions and teams working tirelessly to keep our country safe. They represent the highest standards of readiness and cooperation. We are truly proud of them.
I would also like to underscore my sincere gratitude for the awareness shown by our community of Emiratis and our resident brothers and sisters, partners in this nation, who have expressed their genuine love and loyalty to the UAE through both words and actions. In the UAE, everyone is Emirati through their love for this land and their contributions to it.
May God have mercy on the victims and grant the injured a speedy recovery. With God’s blessing, the UAE—the land of Zayed—will remain strong in its unity, steadfast in defending its sovereignty, and steadily advancing towards the future.
تستنكر دولة لإمارات العربية المتحدة تصريحات رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي، بنيامين نتنياهو، حول دعوة الدولة للمشاركة في إدارة مدنية لقطاع الغزة القابع تحت الاحتلال الإسرائيلي.
إذ تشدد دولة الإمارات بأن رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي لا يتمتع بأي صفة شرعية تخوله باتخاذ هذه الخطوة، كما ترفض الدولة الإنجرار خلف أي مخطط يرمي لتوفير الغطاء للوجود الإسرائيلي في قطاع غزة.
وتؤكد دولة الإمارات على أنه عندما يتم تشكيل حكومة فلسطينية تلبي آمال وطموحات الشعب الفلسطيني الشقيق وتتمتع بالنزاهة والكفاءة والاستقلالية، فإن الدولة ستكون على أتم الإستعداد لتقديم كافة أشكال الدعم لتلك الحكومة.
