The UAE government has revealed the "Road Map for Leadership in the Energy, Infrastructure, Housing and Transport sectors to define the objectives for the next ten years.
This will be done in a way that implements the Fifty Years strategy, within a comprehensive vision based on enhancing international competitiveness globally, supporting infrastructure sustainability, and shaping and boosting development projects within the framework of a comprehensive approach.
This approach would lead to a brand new and qualitative stage in this sector to fulfill the government's aspirations.
The UAE has a logistical system that is the most sophisticated and efficient of its kind in the region, and it is not possible to maintain ''our logistical excellence without enhancing the quality of the infrastructure and developing the transport sector by achieving qualitative leaps that mirror our aspirations for the next stage,'' Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president, prime minister and ruler of Dubai stated.
"We want to achieve a qualitative leap in infrastructure, energy and transport fields as part of a vision that combines inclusiveness and integration and takes into account balance and sustainability and enhances our competitiveness regionally and globally," Sheikh Mohammed stated.
"The private sector is the engine of work in the future and we will work to develop its contribution to infrastructure, energy, transportation, and housing projects in the framework of an integrated partnership," he added.
Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, minister of energy and infrastructure, presented the Road Map to Sheikh Mohammed.
Mazrouei said the ministry's vision is based on the inclusion of all energy, infrastructure, citizens' housing, and transportation sectors within an integrated system for asset management and was developed within the ministry's initiatives aimed at promoting and sustaining services.
Through this integrated asset management system, it is expected to reduce the cost of managing and maintaining government buildings and facilities by up to 20 percent, he added.
In a related context, Mazrouei spoke about the objectives of the Federal Centre for Road Network Operations Management, which the ministry is nearing completion.
