Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh, peace be upon you
Dear Brothers, Members of the Association and guests:
Out of the vision of our wise leadership and its interest in human beings, which is summed up in the words of its founder and renaissance leader – the late, God willing – Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan: “The state’s first priority is building human beings and caring for citizens everywhere in the state as the citizen is the real wealth of this Earth.”
Our wise leadership – represented by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan – may Allah protect him – continues to maintain this approach, take care of this noble planting to serve the people of the UAE, take interest in all matters affecting their lives, and to provide every opportunity to improve and polish their capabilities and talents, enabling them to take part in the renaissance of his country.
He said: “The greatest achievement we are proud of is building the Emirati people, prepare them, and make them qualifies to contribute to building their homeland and bring it to the ranks of developed countries.”
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai – God protect him – asserts this approach as he says: “Our mission, as leaders, is to achieve the common wellness and happiness of our people, and we cannot accomplish this task without the participation of the people, so we give priority to human development, which is one of the pillars of our vision.”
Also, His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces: “Nations are built by creating a patriot and honest citizen. This cannot be achieved without seeking more science, knowledge and continuous training, which our late father Sheikh Zayed (May Allah bless him) has instilled in us, stressing that we should continue to instill these values in future generations, as persistence and enthusiasm are unconquerable.”
And for the implementation of those policies and visions, the Retired Military Personnel seeks to achieve its goals, foremost of which is to strengthen the spirit of social responsibility and to raise the level of social awareness among its members, as well as to seek to improve their living standards, cultural and social status, develop their knowledge and raise their awareness of their affairs, and encourage them to continue to contribute to the nation and society – everyone in their field and with their capabilities – and therefore seek to coordinate with the authorities to make use of their expertise, talents and capabilities to work to support all aspects of development through administrative and social rehabilitation programs, allowing their giving and participation to continue being productive as they were during their service.
Therefore, we introduce this website to be a gate for communication, building upon the Association’s belief in the importance of strengthening the internal and external communication. The website will include the most important applications and electronic services and information gates to support all communication channels and to receive feedback from the members, aiming at the ongoing development of the Association’s objectives and the services it provides, as well as to save time and effort and mitigate them in the provision of electronic services and inquire about the various transactions which are made through the headquarters of the Association and its branches in various Emirates.
We, in the Association, would like to take time to call on all military retirees to join the association, then contribute with their views to be able to provide more support and services for themselves and their fellow retirees, wishing that they will contribute with their generous efforts under our wise leadership.
On God we rely.
