[محمد بن زايد @MohamedBinZayed]

A father is an influential role model and a vital pillar of his family’s happiness and stability. On Father’s Day, we remember our Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed, as the epitome of fatherhood who built a nation through wisdom, compassion and dedication. We salute every father who follows in his footsteps, nurturing his family with love, instilling noble values in his children, and opening doors of hope and opportunity so our families remain a source of strength and progress for our society and nation.

An honour to welcome Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation to Canberra. The UAE is home to tens of thousands of Australians, and we’re working closely with them to keep the region safe.

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

UAE Reaffirms Firm Commitment to Protecting Its Sovereignty and Supporting Regional Security and Stability

[Dr. Sultan Al Jaber @SultanAlJaber]

The world is already 1 billion barrels short, because of the closure of Hormuz.
1 billion barrels.
That is the arithmetic of extortion.
Every day the Strait is held hostage, the costs go up... for families, farms,
factories and economies around the world.
Return freedom of navigation. No conditions. No delay.

[HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum @HHAhmedBinSaeed]

The Emirates Group has once again achieved record-breaking performance in the 2025-26 reporting cycle.

These outstanding results, despite significant challenges in the last month of our financial year, reaffirm the strength and resilience of the Emirates Group’s business model, which is rooted in safety, excellence, innovation, people, and partnerships.

This success is a testament to the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai. It is equally a reflection of the dedication of every Emirates Group employee, and the continued trust of our customers and partners.

Dubai's progress has always been driven by its people, and that shared commitment has supported the meteoric growth of our aviation sector. Looking ahead, we remain focused on maintaining Dubai's unshakeable role as a global aviation hub, connecting the world, and helping power the global economy.

The Australian Embassy is aware of missile alerts in parts of the UAE.

We are monitoring the situation closely. We encourage all Australians in the UAE to follow the instructions of local authorities and to obtain information from official sources only.

Australians are reminded that it is an offence under UAE law to record or share footage of missile or drone activity, including any damage resulting from debris.

Australia condemns Iran's unjustified attacks on the UAE's civilian infrastructure. We stand in solidarity with the people of the UAE and call for an immediate de-escalation of hostilities.

If you require assistance, please contact the Australian Embassy in Abu Dhabi on [phone] or the Australian Consulate-General in Dubai on [phone].

UAE Strongly Condemns Targeting of ADNOC National Carrier While Transiting Strait of Hormuz

[Dr. Sultan Al Jaber @SultanAlJaber]

The UAE has taken a sovereign decision in line with its long-term energy strategy, its true production capability and its national interest, as well as global energy market stability.
At ADNOC, our focus is unchanged: meeting the growing energy needs of our customers and partners around the world with reliability, responsibility, and the ambition to deliver more…across oil, gas, chemicals, and low carbon and renewable energy.
Our commitment to our partners remains unwavering. For us, trust, partnership and credibility are not talking points…they are a track record.

[سهيل المزروعي @HESuhail]

The UAE’s decision to exit from OPEC reflects a policy-driven evolution aligned with long-term market fundamentals. We thank OPEC and its member countries for decades of constructive cooperation. We remain committed to energy security, providing reliable, responsible, and lower-carbon supply while supporting stable global markets.
