The CPC was established in 1976 and mandated to support His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and Chairman of the Executive Council of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, in carrying out his national and international duties.
Reporting directly to the Chairman is the Undersecretary of the CPC, Mohamed Mubarak Al Mazrouei, who acts as the Chief Executive Officer.
The Undersecretary’s role is to determine the strategic direction and the internal policies of the CPC, and supervise its implementation after the Chairman’s sign-off.
The Chairman, Undersecretary and General Director are supported by individual Executive Offices which ensure efficient facilitation between internal departments.
The division also builds bridges of cooperation and close relationships with various Government entities, authorities and non-Governmental organizations within and outside the country.
