The UAE ranked fourth in the Tolerance With Foreigners index, according to the Global Talent Competitiveness Index issues by INSEAD, while it was ranked ninth by the Legatum Prosperity Index.
In both IMD World Digital Competitiveness ranking and the World Competitiveness Yearbook, the UAE was ranked fifth globally in the Globalization Attitudes Index.
The country ranked seventh in the Social Cohesion Index according to the World Competitiveness Yearbook and 11th in the Tolerance of Minorities Index according to the Global Talent Competitiveness Index report. The World Competitiveness Yearbook also ranked it 11th in the Resilience and Adaptation Index.
On the state’s social responsibility towards citizens and residents, the UAE ranked 12th in the world according to the World Competitiveness Yearbook.
During the past few years, the UAE has achieved a pioneering network of international partnerships in tolerance and coexistence aimed at building capacities, preventing violence and combating terrorism and crime, and has strengthened it with platforms for international dialogue between religions and cultures.
The UAE cabinet had approved the National Tolerance Program in 2016, which aims to enrich the culture of tolerance and confront manifestations of discrimination and racism through a solid legal system for an environment of coexistence, acceptance and tolerance.
