The UAE government has implemented a new initiative that permits federal employees to work remotely from locations outside the country, with the objective of attracting global talent for various government projects and specialized assignments.

This initiative was revealed during a Cabinet meeting led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, as reported by Gulf News.

The primary goal is to draw international professionals who can contribute their expertise to government initiatives and specialized tasks.

By facilitating remote work, the UAE aims to recruit individuals with unique skills that may not be readily available within the local workforce. This approach eliminates geographical constraints, thereby broadening the spectrum of expertise accessible for government endeavors.

The newly established system is designed to enhance the talent pool available to the UAE government. By allowing federal employees to operate remotely from abroad, the UAE aspires to involve specialists and experts from across the globe in its governmental projects, research, and other significant activities.

Sheikh Mohammed emphasized the necessity of utilizing international talent to bolster the efficiency of the nation's governmental functions.

This initiative presents an opportunity for professionals residing outside the UAE to play a role in achieving the country's objectives, thereby reinforcing its stature in the realm of global governance.

Additionally, the Cabinet has sanctioned a six-year national investment strategy aimed at significantly increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into the UAE by the year 2031.

The initiative aims to boost annual foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows from Dh 112 billion in 2023 to Dh 240 billion by 2031. It also targets increasing the total stock of foreign investments in the UAE from Dh 800 billion to Dh 2.2 trillion.

"This strategy will concentrate on key sectors such as industry, logistics, financial services, renewable energy, and information technology," remarked Sheikh Mohammed.

"The UAE is committed to enhancing its economy, exploring new markets, and attracting investments, all with the ambition of establishing the finest business environment worldwide."

**Enhancing the Digital Economy and International Relations** 
The Cabinet reviewed the advancements of the national digital economy strategy, which aspires to elevate the digital economy's contribution to the national GDP from 9.7 percent to 19.4 percent by 2031. This strategy encompasses national projects and reforms aimed at bolstering the UAE's stance in the global digital market.

Recent reports indicate that the UAE's strategic partnerships with African countries have flourished, with trade volume rising from Dh 126.7 billion in 2019 to Dh 235 billion in 2024.

"The UAE will persist in building new economic connections across all continents, reinforcing its status as a global trade hub," Sheikh Mohammed tweeted.

**UAE's Expanding Global Partnerships** 
Additionally, the Cabinet approved 28 international agreements, including economic partnerships. These agreements span diverse sectors and enhance the UAE's connections on a global scale.

Sheikh Mohammed concluded the meeting by stating, "Our teams' efforts are consistently driving progress, and our growth trajectory is accelerating. Each day, we witness a brighter and more prosperous future for our country, thanks to the dedication of teams across all sectors."

This endeavor also fosters collaboration and networking among international employees, facilitating the exchange of knowledge and perspectives, which can pave the way for new partnerships.
