As for the Invitations and Communications Services, they aim to provide high-quality, timely, and efficient communication between the MoFA, UAE Embassies abroad, foreign diplomatic missions, international organisations, and government entities. The services include diplomatic notes, official invitations, telegrams and letters, and more, all conducted through a secure, online platform to promote transparency and efficiency.

"These new services reflect the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ commitment to provide exceptional, comprehensive services that cater to the evolving needs of our stakeholders," said Saif Abdulla Alshamisi, Assistant Undersecretary for Protocol Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "These platforms will greatly enhance the experience of visitors to the UAE, emphasising the UAE's commitment to innovation, hospitality, and excellence.”

The Ministry has aligned its services with the country’s "We the UAE 2031” vision, and aims to implement the vision of the UAE’s leadership to achieve the objectives of the UAE Centennial 2071 and in line with the Principles of the 50.

UAE missions abroad, government and local entities and foreign missions accredited to the UAE can avail these services through MoFA's official website www.mofa.gov.ae.
