He added that the vision of the award centers on supporting Arab governments in their pursuit of excellence and international competitiveness through collaboration and knowledge exchange. The goal, he said, is to ultimately serve societies more effectively. Al-Suwaidi further stated that the program seeks to expand participation across the Arab region, with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries often presenting some of the most distinguished projects. He stressed that the award's recognition of excellence underscores the importance of innovation and quality in public service. Winners will be honored in a major ceremony held at the League of Arab States headquarters, celebrating achievements in improving government performance, raising the standard of living, and strengthening the global competitiveness of Arab nations.
