Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Since its foundation on December 2nd, 1971, the United Arab Emirates has adopted the principles of peace, mutual respect and good neighborliness, as key guidelines of the country's foreign policy established by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Building on the heritage of the UAE founding father, the wise visionary leadership of H.H. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE continues the march actively contributing to the welfare of nations regardless of color, race or ethnicity – a trait that stems from profound Islamic belief of peace and tolerance.



The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) represents the foundations of the UAE Society and serves as its window to the outer world, communicating the thoughts and vision of the UAE leadership, asserting the values of human brotherhood, and calling for lifting the suffering of humans.
