UAE leaders attended the swearing-in ceremony of the country's new-look Cabinet on Wednesday.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, and Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, welcomed the team in charge of leading the Emirates to even greater successes in the years to come.
The Ruler of Dubai unveiled a Cabinet featuring several new ministers after a reshuffle on Saturday, following consultation with the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince.
"I joined my brother Mohammed bin Rashid to witness the swearing in of the new UAE government," said Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed wrote on Twitter.
"Looking ahead to the next 50 years, we are well equipped to accelerate our pace of development, which will further strengthen our economy and our nation’s standing in the world."
