The UAE has retained itself as one of the world’s safest countries, bagging first place in the Global Terrorism Index (GTI).
The ranking comes due to the nation’s continued efforts to combat terrorist and extremist activities. The UAE also has a “very low” risk of terrorist activities spread.
The ranking was based on the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) findings, which is responsible for the index and publishes its results annually, WAM reported.
Monitored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC), GTI is supported by the Ministry’s Global Peace and Stability Initiative.
“Under this initiative, the Index data has been supported by communication from the Ministry with influential international sources such as the United Nations and international organisations, specialised research institutes and centres, and the Institute for Economics and Peace,” WAM said.
The index placed the UAE at an overall score of 0, from 2011 to 2021, making it one of the safest counties to live and work in.
