"The plan falls in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, covering the upcoming period that is marked with a great deal of challenges and opportunities, which requires the exertion of more effort, perseverance and diligence to meet our goals of integration with other public entities and be part of our move to achieve a legal system that meets all challenges and requirements," he added.
According to Al Muhairi the plan is a culmination of a series of discussions and dialogues involving representatives of various government entities that took part in a recently held workshop organized by the SLC.
Commenting on the strategic plan, Omar Khalifa Al Suwaidi, Director of Strategic Planning and Institutional Excellence Office at the SLC, said, "The updated plan was developed to keep abreast with the challenges of the upcoming period and to also reflect the strategic outlines of the government of Dubai. The main objective of this plan is to support Dubai's development process by collaborating with all the concerned authorities in the UAE, via a set of supportive legislation that is aimed at monitoring and controlling development in accordance with best international practices."
The Supreme Legislation Committee seeks to pass legislation that considers all the current and future requirements within a competitive and favourable environment and looks towards establishing Dubai as a global hub for investment, trade, and tourism. "Our goal is to also implement legislative applications and solutions that guarantee our achievement of world-class leadership," Al Suwaidi added.
The plan focuses on the importance of reinforcing the concept of joint work with government entities within the emirates and across the whole country, considering promulgated legislation and monitoring its proper implementation. It also seeks to strengthen and empower legal competencies of these government bodies for establishing a well-founded pool of executive requirements that would help bring out the desired results from the implemented legislation, as well as promoting a fully efficient and world class legal culture in society.
