Highlighting the recent aggression against the UAE and Gulf nations, Dr. Al Nuaimi emphasized the resilience of Emirati institutions, noting the effective collaboration among national agencies to safeguard the country’s achievements—a fact that surprised many observers given the high readiness and performance.
He reiterated the UAE’s commitment to placing its citizens at the forefront of its priorities. He recounted the support offered to thousands of stranded travelers during crises, reflecting the nation’s humanitarian ethos.

He regarded media professionals as the nation’s voice, noting that contemporary challenges extend beyond military concerns to include media awareness and responsibility.
Dr. Al Nuaimi added that the UAE is actively fortifying its defense, political, and economic frameworks while also redefining its regional and international relationships. He asserted that the national interests are being recalibrated in response to shifting global contexts.
He remarked on the UAE’s determination to cultivate authentic partnerships grounded in mutual interests rather than mere rhetoric, striving for sustainable and enduring relations.
On the topic of security, Dr. Al Nuaimi discussed the efforts made by the UAE in uncovering and dismantling a terrorist cell allegedly affiliated with the Iranian regime that posed a threat to national security. He commended UAE security agencies for their adept handling of the situation.
Addressing Iran specifically, he highlighted the importance of distinguishing between the Iranian government and its citizens, acknowledging that ordinary people often bear the brunt of such tensions. He emphasized the UAE's equal treatment of the Iranian community without infusing politics into their presence.
