This passport is ranked most powerful in region

  DUBAI – Which passport is the most powerful in the Arab world? This passport is also 22nd at the global level this year, according to the Global Passport Power Rank 2017. That passport is none other that the UAE passport. The UAE passport allows its holder to visit 128 countries around the world without a pre-entry visa requirement. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) recently launched the UAE Passport Force initiative with an aim to place the UAE passport on the list of the five most important passports in the world by 2021. The UAE Passport Force initiative aims to enable citizens to enter all countries without the need for pre-entry visa requirements. "This increases happiness of the citizens," it added. The ministry stepped up the diplomatic move towards greater openness to the world through the exchange of visits and contacts at the highest levels, as well as regular holding of joint committee meetings. These moves also included opening up and strengthening relations with the Latin America, Pacific and African countries, besides strong positive presence in all regional and international forums. The MoFAIC noted that the government's strategy aims to provide distinguished services to citizens, including exemption from pre-entry visa requirements to countries of the world. It stressed that the UAE diplomacy plays a vital role in persuading governments around the world to agree to exempt citizens from the pre-entry visa requirements when they visit their countries.
