UAE and Bermuda Team Up to Improve Government Services
The governments of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bermuda have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to share knowledge and experiences in developing and modernizing government models. This agreement was signed at the United Nations (UN) High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development.
The MoU aims to help both countries drive economic, environmental, and social development. The UAE Ministry of Cabinet Affairs and Bermuda’s Ministry of Economy and Labour will create a framework for sharing information on initiatives to enhance government services and policies. This includes sharing best practices in human capacity building to help public sector employees gain critical skills in areas like technology and leadership.
Abdullah Nasser Lootah, Assistant Minister for Cabinet Affairs for Competitiveness and Knowledge Exchange, signed the MoU on behalf of the UAE. The Honorable Jason Hayward, Minister of Economy and Labour, signed for Bermuda. Lootah highlighted the UAE’s leading model for developing human capacity and stimulating innovation within the public sector, which has led to better policies and smarter services.
Jason Hayward emphasized the strong and growing friendship between Bermuda and the UAE. The UN HLPF on Sustainable Development, organized by the UN Economic and Social Affairs Department, runs until July 17 in New York. The UAE delegation is participating in various bilateral meetings to support progress on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in line with the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
