A new national initiative has been launched across the UAE, inviting both citizens and residents to sign a digital pledge of loyalty and belonging to the country. Called the Pledge and Commitment initiative (عهد ووعد), it is open to everyone living in the UAE — and takes just a few minutes to complete online.

What Is the UAE National Pledge?
The initiative was launched in May 2026 by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, at a ceremony at the Abu Dhabi Energy Centre attended by more than 4,800 participants including citizens, residents, students, business leaders and community representatives.
It has since been extended to everyone in the UAE through a dedicated digital platform at pledge.ae.
The pledge is built on four pillars:
- Promoting coexistence and unity
- Drawing inspiration from the President’s leadership values
- Strengthening civic responsibility and national identity
- Expressing gratitude for the UAE’s achievements
By signing, participants affirm a commitment to living in peace, passing on national values to future generations, and contributing to the country’s continued progress.
