The strategy of the Ministry of State for Federal National Council Affairs stems from the National Action Program announced by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan on 1 December 2005 to mark the 34th anniversary of the establishment of the United Arab Emirates Federation.

The speech included a plan for activating the role of the Federal National Council (FNC) to become a power that backs and supports the executive body. The strategic plan of the Ministry also emanates from the strategy of the UAE government declared by UAE Vice-President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, which aims to achieve sustainable and balanced development and secure prosperity for the people.

The ministry was established as per Federal Decree No (10) of 2006 on the UAE cabinet formation which included, for the first time, the establishment of a ministry concerned with the affairs of the FNC.

The functions of the ministry are as follows:

• Coordination between the government and the FNC
• Participation in drafting legislations related to the role of the FNC
• Supervision of media affairs linked to parliamentary practice
