  The United Arab Emirates has dispatched its 18th aid aircraft carrying 40 tonnes of essential medical supplies to Lebanon as part of the “UAE Stands with Lebanon” campaign. This ongoing initiative, launched in early October, aims to provide critical food, medical, and shelter supplies to the Lebanese population, who continue to face severe hardships due to ongoing conflict. In close collaboration with international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), UAE humanitarian organizations are playing a pivotal role in delivering life-saving aid to Lebanon’s vulnerable communities. The campaign is a direct response to the directives of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with further guidance from His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister, and under the l

Private companies hired more local talent by 11% in the first quarter of 2023

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announces excellent results in the hiring of Emirati talent on the regional labor market.

The number of Emiratis employed in the private sector climbed by more than 11% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, according to the authority. The number of businesses hiring residents climbed by almost 13%, the government announced on Wednesday.

The Nafis program was established by the UAE government as a measure to increase the national cadres' ability to compete for positions in private sector businesses. One of Nafis' top priorities is to equip Emiratis with the knowledge and abilities they need to find employment and forge academic and professional routes that will offer them with potential future prospects.

In the first three months of 2023, MoHRE organized more than 80 recruiting open days around the UAE to entice Emiratis to take advantage of the lucrative career prospects provided by the private sector.

In order to get assistance from the Nafis program, private sector businesses must enroll their Emirati employees in the UAE's pension and social security programs. Fines and penalties "based on relevant decisions, law and legislations" would be incurred if the Emirati personnel were not registered in the systems.

Employers are subject to fines, according to the General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA), for each Emirati employee who is not registered with the GPSSA. They also "bear the responsibility of contributing on his/her behalf retroactively and paying the due contributions as per the employee's start date."

A punishment of Dh5,000 is imposed on each insured individual who is charged a percentage that is more than the required contribution percentage or who fails to pay any expenditures at all. A court order is immediately implemented to compel organizations to reimburse overpayments to their insured personnel.

The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties.

This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these

  This year's global climate summit begins in Dubai. Did you know that Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and President of COP28 , stressed the essential need for immediate climate action before to the summit? The shrinking time period and the global community's progress since the Paris Agreement's adoption in 2015 emphasize the urgency.  Let us first discuss the cop conference  and what I believe Cop28 will do.  First Cop summit  emphasizes that major strides have been made since COP21, guiding the earth away from the initially forecast 3°C global warming and toward around 2.5°C.  Second, according to the International Energy Agency's most recent projections, global carbon emissions will peak in this decade, intensifying the need for comprehensive climate policies. I believe in cOP28  It is fitting, then, that this year’s climate summit should happen in a place famous for sitting at the intersection of finance and innovative th
