The Council of Ministers also adopted a national policy for the circulation and manufacture of biofuels in the country. According to the Sheikh Mohammed, the policy supports UAE's commitment to promoting clean, sustainable, and low-carbon energy sources within the country.
During the meeting, the Cabinet was briefed on the achievements of the Digital Quality of Life Council in the country.

Sheikh Mohammed reiterated that the cornerstone to safeguard children lies within the family unit. The emphasis remains on bolstering awareness and resilience among the younger generations.
He said, "We always emphasise that family, media, and educational institutions must unite to shield our children, who are the most important asset of our national assets and serve as the cornerstone for a brighter future."
