Al Hashmi praised the strong partnership between the Ministry and Dubai Police, describing the summer camps as a national success story. He stressed that these initiatives not only build skills but also instil Emirati values in young people. The Ministry is supporting the programme by providing training centres and 45 buses to make it easy for students to attend.
