He urged government officials, entrepreneurs and private sector employees to work as a united team to strengthen Dubai’s status as the world’s most beautiful and advanced city.

These efforts will create calmer urban environments that prioritise comfort and well-being, while reducing pollution and enhancing cleanliness and aesthetics.

"Dubai has always been, and will remain, a hub for leadership and talent, a catalyst for positive change, and a global model for excellence and innovation," he added.
