His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, attended yesterday evening at Al Bateen Palace in Abu Dhabi, a lecture delivered by former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, entitled “The United States of America and the United Arab Emirates .. Common Challenges and Opportunities,” in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, representative of the ruler in the Al Dhafra region, and Lieutenant-General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and a number of sheikhs, ministers and senior officials, in addition to a crowd of citizens.
The lecture, which was organized by the Mohammed bin Zayed Council, addressed five main themes, including "faith, family, markets, strategic clarity, common challenges, energy and development, common borders." Pompeo began his speech by expressing his gratitude and great happiness for his presence in the UAE. “I see that the UAE has immeasurable capabilities to serve the world, and I value and appreciate His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is leading the process of equality between men and women, as a fundamental pillar of this country, of which 80% of its women are either educated or are still educated in a higher education To be able to serve their country alongside the men.”
He added: "The Arab family is a shining and radiant example of confronting approaches and policies that want to replace the family with the state, and history confirms that Muslims are not advocates of destruction, and the evidence is that they did not destroy the Greek and Roman books for example, but on the contrary preserved them, and provided the West with science and knowledge in many fields." .
Pompeo criticized what he described as "the rampant phenomenon of bullying", which he considered a malignant disease that affects all peoples of the world, saying: "In order for nations to stop and control this rampant cancer, we must rely on three basic pillars, which are faith, family and markets, which are moral pillars. And a joint economic leadership that leads the United States of America and the UAE to achieve the hopes, dreams and aspirations of their peoples.”
The former US Secretary of State referred to the meetings of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change, known as the Global Climate Summit, saying: “We all want clean air and clean water, but the concern for climate and confronting climate change should not come at the expense of nations and peoples living below the line of climate change.” Poverty is without energy or water, and this is the real challenge that must be faced and dealt with first.”
Pompeo praised the UAE leadership's interest in developing its national cadres, both young and female, and its keenness to provide them with a decent education inside and outside the country, so that they would be the best support for their country.
He said, "At the beginning of my life, I studied mechanical engineering at the US Military Academy, and I was the first in my class, but today I am sure that there are Emirati engineers who have knowledge, professionalism and thought, that make them put me in their small pockets."
Mike Pompeo: "Mohammed bin Zayed is leading a march for equality between men and women, as it is a fundamental pillar of the state."
