The UAE annually allocates 1.5% of its domestic relief and development support

The Minister of Cabinet Affairs, President of the World Summit for Governments, Mohammed bin Abdullah Al -Garqawi, said that the UAE annually allocates 1.5% of its domestic product for relief and development support.

He added during his opening speech within the work of the first day of the World Government Summit in Dubai, that there are 4 scenes that embodied the transformations during the period from 2000 to 2025, noting that the size of the global economy increased from 34 trillion dollars to 115 trillion in 2024.

Al -Qarqawi stressed that the world witnessed profound transformations in the economic scene, as China and India climbed to the decline of advanced industrial countries.

He said that the escalation of competition in technology and artificial intelligence led to the wars of Technusia and Deep Corcorates created competition with Open AI, noting that in 2000 the number of Internet users was 7% of the land population, and today it reached 60%, or about 5 billion people.

The head of the World Government Summit explained that the value of digital currencies was zero and today it amounted to 3 trillion dollars, adding that in the year 2000, technological wars and military robots we see only in science fiction films and today we see them on the ground.

Al -Qarqawi said that 25 years ago, the world was afraid of nuclear wars only, but today he is afraid of cyberspace, biological and nuclear.

Al -Qarqawi asked: What if our human decisions were different from what they were? And what if wars and conflicts were not the choice of humanity during the past 25 years, as the world has lost more than two million people as a result of wars and displaced 120 million refugees?

He continued, “What if we choose peace instead of violence?”, Stressing that whoever has not learned from history will repeat the mistakes.
