Abu Dhabi: Congruent with the concerted devotion of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to open all communication channels with everyone, the official website of the Prime Minister of the UAE has been developed.

Launched by Shaikh Mohammad on Friday, the website not only represents the official source of all information related to the prime minister, but also provides an effective communication channel between the prime minister and all relevant audiences inside and outside the UAE through the link: http://www.uaepm.ae

The website is available in both Arabic and English, and covers a variety of important areas. A section is dedicated for presenting the roles and responsibilities of Shaikh Mohammad.

Other sections are dedicated for covering Shaikh Mohammad's daily news, the latest developments at the federal government level, as well as his statements, quotes, and speeches at various occasions. The website also covers the basic principles, goals, and highlights of the UAE Federal Government Strategy, the biographies of previous prime ministers, along with information taken from the UAE's Constitution about the structure and specialisation of the Cabinet as well as the different entities representing the authority of the Federal Government.

Meanwhile, in line with Shaikh Mohammad's interest in achieving transparency in dealing with the media and disseminating information about the federal government, the media e-session facility has been activated via the website. Media e-sessions are a mechanism for communication between journalists with the Prime Minister of the UAE, wherein their questions about the federal government, its strategy, directions, and the strategic affairs of its various ministries and authorities are submitted for the consideration of the Prime Minister, whose answers are then published on the website periodically.

Similarly, and reaffirming the guiding principle of positioning citizens and residents at the core of government efforts and at the centre of its strategy, a page has been established to enable everyone in the UAE to communicate directly with the Prime Minister of the UAE. Users can fill in electronic forms to raise their comments and suggestions about any matter related to the federal government of the UAE.

Developed by the Government Communications Office within the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs, the official website of the Prime Minister of the UAE presents one of the most important government communication tools utilised by the Federal Government to disseminate accurate information about Shaikh Mohammad in his capacity as the Prime Minister of the UAE. It will be used to project the directions, vision, and position of Shaikh Mohammad on all the issues facing the federal government.

Although establishing an online presence is not new to Shaikh Mohammad, launching this website achieves a stronger online presence at a federal government level and highlights Shaikh Mohammad's role as prime minister, strengthening in the process internal and external communication channels in light of the Federal Government Strategy.
