Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence

The Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence in the UAE is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the ‘National Tolerance Program,’ which has been endorsed and approved by the UAE Federal Cabinet. This program serves as a platform for the UAE to demonstrate its commitment to global support for tolerance, pluralism, and peaceful coexistence.

In celebration of the UAE’s golden jubilee, marking fifty years since its founding, the nation is now focused on the next fifty years. The UAE is eager to share its experience as a peaceful, inclusive country and to promote a deeper global understanding of the power of collaboration for the benefit of all humanity. The Ministry actively engages with various entities, communities, and organizations both locally and internationally to enhance its role as an enabler of tolerance.

The Ministry’s mission is to foster a spirit of tolerance and promote mutual respect and peaceful coexistence among all people in the UAE. By building bridges of understanding, communication, and dialogue, it seeks to renounce violence, discrimination, and hatred. A core element of the Ministry’s work is encouraging interfaith dialogue, where the true image of Islam is highlighted through various local, regional, and global initiatives. These efforts are designed to create systemic change, ensuring that tolerance becomes an inherent part of society and contributes to a more inclusive and harmonious world for future generations.

Through these initiatives, the Ministry strives to make tolerance a cornerstone of global peace and coexistence.
