1. 2020: Towards the next 50
The year of tolerance has come to an end and its time for a new beginning. This time
the government of UAE has decided to take a different route, by developing a plan for
the upcoming fifty years, instead of just one year.
The year branded “2020: Towards the next 50”, will “involve all segments of the UAE
society in shaping life in the UAE for the next 50 years and preparing for the country’s
Golden Jubilee celebrations of 2021”. The UAE aims to implement numerous plans
across diverse sectors that include economy, education, infrastructure, health and
media.
A committee will be created to develop a comprehensive plan for the next five
decades. According to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, “50
years ago, the founding fathers shaped our life today, and next year, we will shape the
coming five decades for the future generations.”
The government emphasizes on working together as citizens and residents across all
sectors towards the next 50 and make significant changes and raise aspirations.
His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said, “The UAE is about to mark a
major milestone in its modern history as it approaches the Golden Jubilee with rising
hopes and aspirations to strengthen its cultural position in the journey of humanity.
With the willpower and unity of our people, we will work tirelessly to achieve our goal
in making the UAE among the best countries in the world by the UAE centennial in
2071.”
He further added, “In 2020, we will coordinate efforts, deploy possible resources and
strengths and deepen our community partnerships to lay the foundations of a
significant phase in the journey of our development. We will draft a new chapter
in our economic, social and rapid development race. Citizens and residents who form

2. our society are all active partners in building a developmental and cultural model of
the Emirates of the future.”
As part of the 2020 plan, the government is also planning to select a new logo that
will represent the country for the next 50 years. Three logos have already been
designed by 49 prominent Emirati artists and now it’s up to the public to select the
best one among the three. His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed
Forces, has invited the public to take part in selecting the new logo.
