His Excellency Abdullah Nasser Lootah affirmed, 'Countries strive to allocate resources and efforts to implement initiatives and projects that ultimately lead to government excellence. This results in numerous and diverse success stories, practices, and innovations that each country pursues to achieve excellence in a particular field. Here lies the importance of having a program like GEEP, a pioneering UAE initiative, as it serves as a global platform for exchanging distinguished experiences and practices in government work for the benefit of all countries and the welfare and happiness of their people.'
Lootah added, 'The UAE has achieved numerous and rapid accomplishments in government development within a short period, positioning it prominently on the global stage in this field. Our leadership is keen to share the UAE's experience with countries across the world to exchange knowledge and best practices, enhancing the UAE's position as a global partner in finding solutions to current global challenges.'

These particularly include SDG1 (No poverty), SDG2 (Zero hunger), SDG13 (Climate Action), SDG16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), and SDG17 (Partnerships for Goals).
Participants affirmed the role of knowledge exchange in cementing the UAE's commitment to building bridges and supporting sustainable development worldwide, leveraging the qualitative achievements the country has made in government excellence and economic development. They noted the importance of exchanging knowledge, experiences, and innovations across various government sectors, institutionalizing best practices, and fostering continuous innovation for sustainable growth at all levels.
