Union Pledge Day is an occasion to uphold the legacy of unity and nurture the next generation

Abu Dhabi, UAE, 17 July 2025: “Unity is not a concept of the past, but an integral part of our present and our future. Unity sustains peace, enables us to address challenges effectively, and supports collective advancement. Amid global uncertainty, the UAE exemplifies how uniting around shared values, and a coherent vision has helped build a nation and ensured its progress. Union Pledge Day is an opportunity to pay tribute to the remarkable foresight of the UAE’s Founding Fathers, whose commitment to cooperation and unity is a living part of the modern United Arab Emirates. At the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy, we are dedicated to upholding this legacy as we equip future generations of diplomats and leaders to serve their country.”

Quote of Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Dhaheri, Deputy Director General of AGDA:

“The Union Pledge Day embodies the vision of diversity and celebrates its sustainable impact in the UAE”.

“I carry deep pride in the day our leaders chose unity as the foundation of our nation. Union Pledge Day reminds us that the true strength of the UAE comes from the shared values and strong bonds between its people. The commitment made by our Founding Fathers continues to strengthen our national identity, guide our efforts, and shape our aspirations for the future.

At AGDA, we take this responsibility forward by preparing future diplomats and leaders who not only embody these values but also promote the UAE’s message of unity, dialogue, and cooperation worldwide.”
