Experts discuss directions of UAE Research Programme for Rain Enhancement Science

The programme seeks to strengthen ties between the weather and rain enhancement scientific community locally and globally

UAE Research Programme for Rain Enhancement Science, with the participation of leading scientists, experts, professionals and stakeholders in rain enhancement research, discussed the strategic research directions and roadmap for its sixth cycle, which will award US$1.5 million for each winning research project.

The high-level workshop in Abu Dhabi discussed the programme's strategic priorities, in particular the development of partnerships with local universities and research institutes in the UAE, and the possibility of involving other relevant international organisations such as the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) in future research projects.

Alya Saeed Al Mazroui is the Director of the UAE Research Programme for Rain Enhancement Science, said that the programme seeks to strengthen international cooperation in the field of rain amplification research, uniting views and efforts with pioneers in the scientific community to address pressing global challenges, and laying the basic foundations to be launched in the next phase in the sixth cycle of the programme.

It was noted that the programme seeks to strengthen ties between the weather and rain enhancement scientific community locally and globally, especially in light of the outstanding results achieved through projects awarded by the programme over the past ten years. This is reported by Emirates News Agency (WAM), a partner of TV BRICS.

The workshop focused on five key areas: improved pollination materials, rain amplification systems, autonomous weather systems, limited climate intervention, and advanced models, software and data.

Prabowo Subianto

President of Indonesia

"This roadmap sets the framework for our joint efforts. Indonesia and Belarus have great potential for expanding cooperation in various fields. Our cooperation will focus on industrial development and agricultural modernisation. In industry, we see a major opportunity to increase trade volumes, investment, and cooperation between our two countries. We are also pushing for closer collaboration in culture and human resource development"

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"
