Dubai Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum affirmed that the unification of the UAE's armed forces has given our nation reasons for resilience, firmly addressing anyone who dares to think of tampering with its capabilities or undermining the achievements of its people. He noted that full readiness and maintaining the highest levels of preparedness in a world rife with crises and conflicts have become essential requirements in the operation of our armed forces. In a speech on the occasion of the 48th anniversary of the unification of the UAE armed forces, which is celebrated on May 6 each year, he stated that since its unification nearly five decades ago, the armed forces have gained a good reputation and spread a message of understanding, coexistence, and peace across the world, providing generous humanitarian support to all brotherly and friendly nations during disasters, crises, or wars and conflicts.
