What the UAE National Pledge and Commitment Initiative Involves
The campaign invites both Emirati citizens and expatriate residents to affirm their commitment to core national values. It centres on loyalty and allegiance to President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, alongside principles of unity, peaceful coexistence, civic responsibility and gratitude for the UAE’s stability and progress.
The pledge itself states that participants stand “hand in hand” as citizens and residents of “this blessed land” and commit to living in peace and harmony while passing national values to future generations. It describes the President as a model of dedication and service under whose leadership the UAE raises its flag proudly on the world stage.
Organised by Sandooq Al Watan with support from Erth Zayed Philanthropies, the effort strengthens shared belonging in the country’s diverse society.
