He further praised the provisions of Law No. (4) of 2026 concerning Human Resources for the Government of Ajman, noting its role in enhancing quality of work life and establishing a flexible and balanced legislative framework that places people at the centre of its priorities.

Al Muwaiji further stressed the importance of keeping pace with the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, emphasising that AI has become a transformative reality reshaping industries and serving as a key driver of innovation and development.

He stated, "The launch of the Ajman Artificial Intelligence Programme by H.H. Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of the Executive Council, requires us to align with this strategic direction and leverage AI technologies to enhance our operations and services in line with the UAE's national priorities and Ajman Vision 2030 – Ajman for People."

Al Muwaiji further affirmed that the UAE has consistently demonstrated exceptional capability and resilience in adapting to challenges affecting supply chains, transportation and logistics services. He noted that during the recent period, which witnessed a number of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, the UAE once again proved the efficiency of its logistics ecosystem, the readiness of its infrastructure, and its ability to ensure the uninterrupted flow of trade and movement of goods. This reflects the leadership's forward-looking vision, strong strategic planning, and the flexibility of the national economy.
