“Our goal is to communicate more with the people and convey our story to the world in new formats, and to develop a new governmental methodology with the new media, which has become the influential media.”
Sheikh Mohammed stated: “We also approved, in today's cabinet meeting, the federal government’s public debt strategy... The goal is to build a bond market in the local currency and revitalize the state’s financial and banking sector.”
