Since the UAE was established, we have continued to commit ourselves to the principles of international law, seek peaceful co-existence with our neighbours, expand our friendship with all the world's countries and reject the use of force, or the threat of force, to resolve disputes and settle conflicts, His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said on Tuesday.
In a statement to Dira'a Al Watan magazine on the occasion of 44th National Day of the UAE, Shaikh Mohammed said: "At the same time, we are interested in building our capabilities to protect our country, independence and gains, and ward off whoever plans to assault or damage our security and stability.
He said: "We were and will always be people of peace, building and development. But we will counter whoever plots to target us with evil acts, they will be fended off by us using full force, and if war is imposed on us, then we will fight. We have never embarked on aggression on others, but we are always ready to counter whoever attempts to attack us." - Wam
