In a way to find a real solution to the challenges, threats and strategic risks facing the UAE national security, H.E Saif Sultan Al-Ariani reviewed the powers and capabilities of the UAE and how it seeks to coordinate at all levels of local and federal decision-making in cooperation with all national agencies both vertically and horizontally.
