Tawazun Economic Council has presented a successful model for implementing the UAE leadership's vision for strategic partnerships and for driving the economic and social development, Dr. Sultan bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State, has stated.

"Tawazun Economic Council created successful projects in the fields of energy, petrochemicals, renewable energy, ship building, infrastructure, research and developments. Under the wise leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Council has contributed significantly to positioning the UAE as a leading country in key industries," Dr. Al Jaber said in a statement he made at a ceremony held this evening to celebrate Tawazun's silver jubilee.

Al Jaber added that the Council has succeeded in building a generation of highly qualified Emiratis, drawing from the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, for active and value-added industrial sector in the UAE.

He extended greetings to His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed on the 25th anniversary of the Council, which was established as a pioneering initiative that has contributed to the drive for a diversified and knowledge-based economy.

He also congratulated his former colleagues in Tawazun Economic Council, a platform that, he said, has helped turn innovative concepts into a tangible reality.
