One year in, and already shaping the future

It’s been exactly a year since Sheikh Hamdan stepped into the role of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence on July 18, 2024. Backed by the UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, his appointment wasn’t just a title, it was a sign of fresh leadership taking charge.

A year later, Sheikh Hamdan has brought a fresh vision to the defence space. Pushing for modernisation, stronger regional ties, and future-ready strategies. His approach blends innovation and tradition, and his leadership is helping shape a new era for the UAE’s defence forces.

And as Sheikh Mohammed’s poem so beautifully captured, this is just the beginning

This wasn’t just about hitting the one-year mark. It was about recognising the shift—the younger generation stepping up, carrying legacy, and building what’s next.

Sheikh Mohammed’s poem says it all without saying too much. One year down, and this story’s just getting started.
