DUBAI: The UAE is calling on its citizens and residents to join a national pledge called “Pledge and Commitment.” The idea is simple: show loyalty to the country’s leadership and recognise the UAE’s hard-won security, stability, and prosperity. Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, launched the initiative on May 19 at the Abu Dhabi Energy Centre. He said it’s a way to thank President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan for his steady hand in strengthening national security and bringing people together.
What is the LOYALTY PLEDGE?
Sandooq Al Watan, a non-profit tied to Erth Zayed Philanthropies, says this campaign comes straight from the lives and stories of everyone who calls the UAE home. It’s big on unity, bringing together folks from all sorts of backgrounds and languages so they can speak up with gratitude and loyalty to the president.

Why launch the pledge now?
Sandooq Al Watan breaks it down into four main points:
– Gratitude: Thanking the leadership for making sure everyone feels safe, respected, and has opportunities.
– Setting an example: Following Sheikh Mohamed’s lead in embracing values like dedication and generosity, and treating loyalty as both a duty and an honor.
– Collective commitment: Encouraging everyone in society to live together peacefully and harmoniously.
– Continuity and legacy: Carrying forward this spirit from one generation to the next, as part of a bigger journey.
