Young Emiratis are the nation’s ambassadors and must strive to promote the UAE’s image abroad, leading government figures told an audience of thousands of young Emiratis.

On the second day of the Mohamed bin Zayed Majlis for Future Generations, students heard from Sheikh Saif bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior; Ahmed Al Falasi, Minister of State for Higher Education, and Nasser Al Hameli, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, among many more.

Each had a special message for who Dr Anwar Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, called "the future of the UAE" on the first day of the Majlis.
