Abu dhabi: Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, stated that the 'Pledge and Commitment' initiative reflects sincere national loyalty and allegiance to President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Speaking during the initiative's launch at the Abu Dhabi Energy Centre, Sheikh Nahyan emphasized the initiative's role in expressing appreciation for the President's leadership and his contributions to strengthening national security, stability, and social cohesion.
According to Emirates News Agency, more than 4,800 intellectual, academic, and community leaders from across the UAE participated in the launch event. This diverse group included citizens, residents, students, investors, academics, business leaders, and representatives of various communities. The event saw Sheikh Nahyan as the first signatory of the initiative document, followed by 30 prominent figures. Participation was then opened to attendees and later expanded digitally through a QR code shared on social media platforms.
Sheikh Nahyan described President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed as a historic figure, highlighting his leadership's impact on the UAE's international standing and its reputation for progress, stability, and development. The initiative, he noted, embodies the UAE's values of peace, coexistence, and collective national responsibility, while also reflecting the unity of the country's diverse social fabric.
Participants of the initiative expressed that it provides an opportunity for citizens and residents to show their appreciation for the security, prosperity, and stability enjoyed in the UAE under its leadership. The initiative is structured around four key pillars: promoting coexistence and unity, drawing inspiration from the President's leadership values, strengthening civic responsibility and national identity, and expressing gratitude for the country's stability and prosperity.
Organizers have announced that participation will continue through institutional signings by companies, universities, and organizations. Additionally, a multilingual online platform and direct participation at community events will facilitate broader engagement with the initiative.
