Dubai has announced the creation of a new Civility Committee, tasked with realising the leadership’s vision of making the emirate the best, most beautiful, most refined, and most civilised city in the world.

The initiative follows directives from His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who set out this goal during the Mohammed bin Rashid Leadership Forum.

The announcement was made by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, via his official social media accounts.
