Organised by the Government Experience Exchange Office at the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs, the visit focused on government policies, legislation, future foresight, service modernisation, media and communications, performance, global competitiveness, AI-enabled government, advanced technologies, and strategic projects.
Meetings were held with Maryam Al Hammadi, Minister of State and Secretary-General of the UAE Cabinet; Abdulla Al Basti, Secretary-General of the Dubai Executive Council; Abdulla Nasser Lootah, Assitant Minister of Cabinet Affairs for Competitiveness and Experience Exchange; Saeed Al Eter, Assistant Minister of Cabinet Affairs for Strategic Projects and Chair of the UAE Government Media Office; Hanan Ahli, Director of the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre; and Ibrahim Salman Al Hammadi, Executive Director of Government Performance and Excellence at the Prime Minister’s Office and General Coordinator of the Sheikh Khalifa Government Excellence Programme.

In May, the UAE and Lebanese governments launched a bilateral partnership on government modernisation under the framework of the Government Experience Exchange Forum.
The partnership provides a platform for cooperation between government leaders of both countries, in line with the directives of the UAE leadership to strengthen relations with Lebanon through the exchange of experiences in government modernisation, benefiting the peoples of both nations.
