UAE ranks No. 1 globally in fighting terrorism

For the fourth consecutive year, the UAE has maintained its first-place ranking in the Global Terrorism Index (GTI).

The UAE is considered one of the safest countries that take effective measures to combat terrorist and extremist activities, and one of the safest countries in the world with a "very low" risk of the spread of terrorist activities.

The ranking was based on the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) findings, which is responsible for the index and publishes its results annually.

The Global Terrorism Index is one of the indicators monitored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (Mofaic). Its data is supported by the Ministry's Global Peace and Stability Initiative.

Under this initiative, the index data has been supported by communication from the ministry with influential international sources such as the UN and international organisations, specialised research institutes and centres, and the Institute for Economics and Peace.

Mofaic also provides national reports on the UAE's efforts to combat terrorism, illustrating the Ministry's active role, concerned agencies, and governmental technical committees in the fight against extremism.
