Chairman of Organizing Committee for UAE 40-th Na-

tional Day Celebration: H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon

The presence of a Romanian delegation at United Arab

nomic Development of UAE, Central Bank Governor

ter of UAE and Ruler of Dubai and was invited at launch by H.H. Sheikh Nahyan bin Muba-

rak Al Nahyan Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research at his palace.

Beside the dense official meetings program, the Romanian delegation enjoyed a sophisti-

When on 16 December 1991, President

Nursultan Nazarbaev had proclaimed the

Law on State Independence of Republic of

Kazakhstan, few could suspect that a road

of 20 years of successes on national building

was opened.

The beginning`s where difficult. The

economic establishment of Soviet Union

was build on interdependence principle ,

accordingly to it, no country members of

Soviet Union could host on his territory the

industrial and economic factories necessary

for an independent life.

Despite being confronted with such

insurmountable difficulties, the national building had started rapidly , Kazakhstan had

commence building economic relations with former Soviet Union states and also had open

his economy to foreign investments and economic cooperation with all the countries in

the world.

Introducing in exploitation new oil and gas fields and exporting energy products towards

other areas as Caucasus, Caspian Sea and by Black Sea towards Europe had transformed in

only a few years, Kazakhstan in the main energy supplier for emerging Asian economy and

for European economies.Today, 20 years after, Kazakhstan is part of all important world and European energetic

projects and the dream of President Nursultan Nazarbaev was fulfilled.

This year is especially valuable for us. We

have approached the 20th anniversary of

our independence. We have conquered sig-

nificant tops along this way, which led de-

pendent people to independent days of pre-

sent time. As you remember, in 1997, in my

first address to the people of Kazakhstan, I

said: By 2030, our next generations will live

in a country which would not be left in the

wayside of global events. At that time, there

were many people who were doubtful about these words. However, we have achieved

this desired goal not in 33, but in twelve years! The Summit, recently held in Astana, con-

vened the heads of the 56 states and governments and is an outstanding evidence of this.

And even before this major and glorious achievement, we have reached many goals. We

have become one of the three states in the world, which convened its compatriots,

scattered as millet in different times of history. In these years, more than 800,000 compa-

triots came back from foreign states and the number of population increased by one and a

half million. We have built a beautiful and prosperous Astana in the wide steppe of Sary-Arka. We have established the capital, which became the symbol of our dynamic develop-

ment, on the banks of Yessil River.

Only the nation which lives in harmony and understanding will reach the fruitful future.

Today, Kazakhstans international reserves are about 60 billion USD..Prosperity requires

cooperation, and unity is the token of wealth. In the years of independence, more than

120 billion USD in foreign investment were attracted in the economy of our country. We

also export more than 200 kinds of products to 126 countries of the world. Today, one

third of the national wealth is created by small and medium-sized businesses. The agricul-

tural sector is also developing.

In 2010, the GDP increased by 7 percent, industrial production by 10 percent, while the

growth in manufacturing industries reached 19 percent. An average monthly salary in-

creased from 53,000 in 2007 to 80,000 tenge (KZT) in 2010.

In terms of the national wellbeing, last year Kazakhstan made 26 steps forward and tookthe 50th place among 110 countries.

Overall, an average monthly salary increased by 5.5 times and the average pension in-

creased fourfold. We overcame the crisis, which shook the world, and bravely stepped

onto a straight path of development. I have never had more happiness than to serve the

interests of my country and welfare of my motherland. We still have a lot of work.

Our most important value in this path is our cohesive unity.

I am sure that large-hearted people of my country who value unity will become a strong

and prosperous nation.

There is a wise folk saying: If the country has a blessing there will be wellbeing and its

direction will be right. In this address, we summed up the results of the work, which had

been done during a glorious stage and outlined a direction for the future.

I wish you all a great success in your noble work towards wellbeing in the interests of the

country!

Let our noble activities, which brought us to these glorious days, be blessed, dear compa-

triots!

countrys budget, a five-year program (2010-2014) worth 280 billion dollars. This context is

favorable and I would like to stress that in the framework of this programme, Romanian

firms have already proved their competence in fields like constructions, hydraulic infra-

United Arab Emirates are celebrating on 2 December the National Day and the 40 year

anniversary. How is your Excellency explaining the amazing development of United Arab

Emirates (U.A.E.) in such a short period of time, United Arab Emirates are enjoying today

one of the world highest and sophisticated life standards of living and also enjoy a pow-

erful economy and democratic society. How it was all possible in such a short time?

United Arab Emirates in there unification action, now 40 year old, have registered

achievements that transformed the state and society in order to enter into XXI century

with the capacity to face challenges and opportunities of this century and in the same

time they wanted to offer a permanent stimulus for their citizens to have more capacity

and achievements and to ensure to future generation a decent life and stability. Off

course, the United Arab Emirates came a long way in economic and social development

and we have being able to build a powerful institutional life, with an important degree of

openness in society.

All this had characterized the development process and the spirit of tolerance , that pre-

vail in every sector of society in U.A.E.

Also we have important ingredients: as a strong spiritual life that enrich the bases of our

experience and put our country in a special place , not only in regional level, but also at

world level. Indeed United Arab Emirates are undergoing from a long period of time a

process of new development that transformed us in a center for international trade and

finance. Also we are living a new parliamentary experience in the true meaning of the

word , that completely correspond to national standard . On the other hand the success

obtained at national level would not be possible without the wisdom of our foreign pol-

icy that facilitates reaching these goals.

Transforming Emirates into an economic center of the world would not be possible to

explain only by one decision , but as a result of long term plans and efforts. These efforts

were not merely economic construction but included infrastructure, quality service, social

development, including also human capital development by training and a legislative

and judicial environment in accordance with our economic and social global develop-

ment.

From here results that United Arab Emirates positioning on world economy map is not

temporary or based on an economic conjecture , but is the result of a continuous ef-

fort. In this development process where involved many economic and financial institu-

tion that build on solid foundation that overcome the economic crisis that is confront-

ing today the world economy.

What is today situation on United Arab Emirates and what are the future developmentplans for United Arab Emirates?

There is no question that U.A.E. have great achievements in the last time but we are con-

tinuing the efforts for future development. From this reason the state is working constant

in developing process ( continuation on next page)..

dent of State and his Vice-President that are fallowing on the footsteps ofSHEIKH ZAYEDbin SULTAN AL NAHAYAN , the founder and father of United Arab Emirates, Allah grantpeace to his soul.

Your Excellency how you will describe the Romanian- Emirates relationship?

Our bilateral relations are old and full of diplomatic interactions on different levels. The

diplomatic relations begin at 1.08.1989. Also the relations are substantiated by reciprocalhigh level visits in the last years that contributed to developing friendship and cooperation

between our countries. United Arab Emirates are having a high development experience

and a high appreciation on world economic organizations and this is making bilateral rela-

tions easier. Also because Romania is among European countries interested in regional

relations in general and in relations with United Arab Emirates, in special this is important

in developing relations in all fields, and in 2008 the total commercial exchange reached

522 million dollars. Doubling this amount in the last five years is by itself a clear indicator

on the dynamic that characterized our bilateral relations.

Your Excellency what are your future plans in developing relations between Romania and

United Arab Emirates on politic, economic and cultural level?

United Arab Emirates by His Highness SHEIKH KHALIFA bin ZAYED AL NAHA-YAN directives are programming to develop relations of friendship and mutual beneficialcooperation with Romania and is a shared desire to extend our cooperation prospective

on the benefit of our two countries and we will concentrate on ways to consolidate our

bilateral relations and ways to increase our exchanges in various fields of activity on the

firm intention of satisfying reciprocal interest for the future. The most important is the Mix

Ministerial Commission that contributes to development in bilateral cooperation in a practi-

cal and coherent way. I hope in the nearest future we will increase our cooperation in

mutual benefit to serve our goals and ambition on economic development with a focus on

tourism and investments.

Emirates National Day?
