The UAE is seeking - through its supportive stances towards Arab countries - to enable countries in the region to address diverse challenges that could undermine pillars of regional security and stability, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, has affirmed.

''Citizens of the UAE have proven their competence, ability and excellence in all national military and humanitarian field missions and responsibilities within the UAE and beyond. We are proud of them and of their sacrifices and devotion which will be inscribed on the memory of the nation and history of the region,'' HH Sheikh Mohamed said while talking during a visit to Saif Mohammed bin Ablan Al Mazrouie at his residence in Al Ain city. In attendance were a number of participants in national missions inside and outside the UAE.

''We draw our strength in confronting challenges from our strong solidarity and cohesion as one family in the this dear country. We stand united against malignant and malicious elements and hate-mongers,'' HH added.

Thanks to sacrifices made by our gallant armed forces and those of the Arab Coalition, higher objectives in Yemen had been fulfilled and the Yemeni people are today on the threshold of a critical juncture in the future of their country and its security and stability,'' HH said.

He affirmed the UAE, under the leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, is assuming its historic role faithfully and responsibly and is committed to performing its strategic duties and responsibilities as well as working and cooperating with other fellow countries to preserve security and stability of the region.

Cooperation and integration, HH underscored, are the best way to tackle challenges and risks and the shortcut to eradicate threats, violence, terrorism and to end foreign interferences into internal affairs of countries in the region.
