Under the patronage and in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and with the participation of His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sandooq Al Watan, the 'Ahd Wa Waad' (Pledge and Promise) forum will launch tomorrow at the Al Jawhara Centre in Sharjah, running for a single day.
The event takes place within the framework of supporting and engaging all segments of society in the emirate of Sharjah in the national and community initiative 'Ahd Wa Waad', which was launched to embody the will of broad sectors of UAE society to express the highest meanings of loyalty, gratitude, appreciation, and recognition towards His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, may God preserve him, under the slogan 'A pledge of loyalty and a promise of fulfilment'.
The forum's programme includes a documentary film about the Ahd Wa Waad initiative, its objectives, foundations, and community vision, reflecting the latest developments and its reach across various segments of society. This will be followed by the keynote address of His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, after which a group of public figures representing all segments of UAE society in Sharjah — both citizens and residents — will sign the Ahd Wa Waad document on stage, marking the launch of digital signing by those in attendance, with the participation of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah; His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah; and His Excellency Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan.
The 'Ahd Wa Waad' forum aims to acquaint all sections of the local community in the emirate of Sharjah with the 'Ahd Wa Waad' initiative and to explain the nature of the initiative as an inclusive national and community platform that reflects the spirit of social cohesion that distinguishes UAE society.
The initiative was launched from the capital, Abu Dhabi, with broad participation from various segments of UAE society — citizens and residents alike — through open digital voting available to all, in a civilised manner that expresses national unity and solidarity around the wise leadership.
The forum will focus on highlighting the values of the Ahd Wa Waad initiative, which carries important national and humanitarian dimensions affirming the values of loyalty, belonging, fulfilment, and pride in the nation and its leadership, alongside reinforcing concepts of social responsibility and collective action for a brighter future for coming generations, within the framework of the comprehensive development vision led by His Highness the President of the State, may God preserve him.
The national community initiative 'Ahd Wa Waad' is a digital platform that embraces the feelings of all towards the nation and the leader of its journey, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, may God preserve him, enabling them to express their appreciation for his blessed efforts in supporting and caring for all citizens and residents on the soil of the state, which has preserved for everyone their lives, dignity, and ability to grow and prosper.
The Ahd Wa Waad forum in Sharjah is considered one of the most important events accompanying the initiative, with the participation of all community, intellectual, cultural, and academic leaders, in addition to representatives and leaders of local authorities and institutions, as well as families, school and university students, and other segments of society.
