My dear students,

Our wise leadership in the UAE have long held that the most valuable investment is in its human capital. Over the last 50 years, the investment in our people for their progress and advancement was the cornerstone of our success.  

Today you follow in the steps of your predecessors as we execute the plan for the next 50 years in order to make the UAE the global capital of investment and economic creativity and to have the most dynamic economy globally.

Australia is among the most important destinations that can help you achieve your higher education goals. Rest assured that we will help you get over any difficulties and overcome any obstacles that may face you during your academic career.  I hope that you enrich your experience abroad by getting to know your Australian mates and be the best ambassadors of our dear country. You are not just acquiring education, but most importantly acquiring different practical and life skills and understanding the culture of the country. At the same time by respecting the laws and customs you will be reflecting the authentic image of UAE.

I truly wish you success and I look forward to meeting each one of you in the near future.

Abdulla Alsaboosi 

UAE Ambassador to Australia
