The apps will provide insights into the historic achievements by His Highness the late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan that contributed to building a national parliamentary experience in line with the aspirations of the UAE community, and meeting the needs of the country and the people.”
“These initiatives strengthen awareness on government action and the development and consolidation of a culture of political participation among members of society. This is a key objective of the ministry and the launch of the two innovative apps underscores our focus on keeping pace with the UAE’s development strategy and the vision of our leadership to promote the application of cutting-edge technology across government entities,” he added.
