Abu Dhabi - The UAE has unveiled a new branch of government, a Ministry of Possibilities, three years after launching a department in charge of happiness.
UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Dubai Ruler Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum said the “unconventional” ministry would function “without a minister” but with input from the whole cabinet.
“We launched the world’s first virtual ‘Ministry of Possibilities’, a new government work system in the UAE,” he said on Twitter.
“The virtual ministry, administered by the cabinet, will address pressing national portfolios and build future government systems.”
It would also cut waiting times for government services, according to the Dubai government’s media office.
“Future challenges require the constant development of the government structure... and impossible is not in our dictionary.” Shaikh Mohammed said. In 2016, the UAE created ministries of happiness and tolerance.
