UAE President and Bill Gates explore further humanitarian cooperation in key phone call

 

The President of the UAE, HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, received a phone call from Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The call focused on enhancing humanitarian cooperation and strengthening collaboration to better tackle infectious diseases. They also highlighted the need to enhance efforts aimed at helping vulnerable communities.

The call also noted the incredible outcomes of the COP28 Summit hosted by Dubai in November, which resulted in the landmark UAE Consensus, promoting unified climate action and accelerating global efforts to mitigate climate change. The call also highlighted the importance of modern technology and innovation in enhancing sustainable solutions to environmental challenges, shielding natural resources from harm, and achieving sustainable development.

The UAE has made significant efforts to address the chaotic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and facilitate the supply of relief and medical aid since the beginning of the brutal Israel-Hamas conflict on October 7. The ‘Gallant Knight 3’ humanitarian operation has made substantial progress in enabling injured Gazans to lead normal lives and supplying hundreds of tonnes of essential aid.

Gates lauded the Emirates’ efforts in supporting communities across the globe and commended His Highness for his significant contributions towards eradicating polio and strengthening global initiatives against the disease. Their conversation not only highlights their ongoing partnership but also reaffirms their dedication to tackling some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a prominent non-profit fighting poverty, inequity, and disease on the planet, with $53.8 billion spent since 2000 to dramatically improve the quality of life for billions of people in need.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period.

UK Business Migration to the UAE: An Economic Transformation Set to Triple by 2035

  A significant realignment is underway in the global business landscape. The corridor between the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates is experiencing a dramatic surge in traffic, not of tourists, but of companies, entrepreneurs, and capital. Projections indicate that the number of UK businesses operating in the UAE is on a trajectory to triple by the year 2035. This is not a fleeting trend but a strategic migration fueled by a powerful combination of economic foresight and pragmatic policy. For UK businesses, the appeal is clear and compelling. The UAE offers a starkly contrasting environment to the complexities of the European market post-Brexit. The cornerstone of this appeal is a favourable tax regime, featuring zero percent income tax and a competitive corporate tax structure. This financial efficiency is coupled with groundbreaking reforms that allow for one hundred percent foreign ownership of mainland companies, giving investors full control over their ventures. The...
