In an increasingly complex and fragmented world, how does a nation forge lasting prosperity and stability? In this exclusive interview, Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Dhaheri, Director of the Strategy and Future Department at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Director General of AGDA, unveils the principles behind the United Arab Emirates' foreign policy.
Dr. Mohammed detailed the three core tenets—"credibility, a balanced approach, and foresight"—that guide the UAE on the global stage. He explained how this "connector nation" engages with all sides, from the US and China to Russia and Ukraine, establishing itself as a trusted mediator in international conflicts.
The conversation also explored the dynamic and growing synergy between the UAE and Hong Kong. Dr. Mohammed highlighted the vast collaborative potential in finance, innovation, sustainability, and culture between these two global hubs. Furthermore, he shed light on the Belt and Road Initiative and the UAE's ambitious drive for economic diversification beyond oil.
"We don't build walls, we build bridges." This ethos is at the heart of the UAE's commitment to finding common ground, turning challenges into opportunities, and serving as a trusted connector for the world. It is the forward-looking blueprint for a new model of global engagement.
