- Speaking at the Hili Forum in Abu Dhabi, Gargash said the region’s geopolitical transformation requires greater readiness, self-sufficiency and strategic independence.
The UAE’s energy exports and trade will not be hindered by regional upheavals or crises, Dr Anwar Bin Mohammed Gargash said at the Hili Forum 2026 in Abu Dhabi.
Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, said national security and economic stability remain unwavering strategic priorities. He described the region as undergoing a pivotal transformation that is reshaping its geopolitical and strategic landscape.
That shift, he said, has created increasingly complex conditions and made exceptional readiness and self-sufficiency necessary. The UAE has made considerable efforts to mitigate the effects of this phase, while repeatedly warning about its long-term implications.
Gargash also pointed to conflicts such as the 2003 Iraq War, arguing that wars continue to generate political and security challenges even after the fighting ends. He stressed that achieving strategic independence has become essential for the UAE.
