The Cabinet of the United Arab Emirates, or Council of Ministers (Arabic: مجلس الوزراء), is the chief executive body of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) federal government. The cabinet consists of federal government ministers, and is led by the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates. Although not stated in the Constitution of the United Arab Emirates, the position of prime minister is nominally held by the ruler of Dubai. The cabinet reports to the president of the United Arab Emirates and the Federal Supreme Council.[1]

History

See also: List of cabinets of the United Arab Emirates

The first cabinet was formed following the union of UAE as a federation on 9 December 1971.[2][3]

The last reshuffle was on 6 January 2024.[4]

Jurisdiction

The cabinet runs and represents the federal government of the United Arab Emirates and jurisdiction varies among the emirates of the United Arab Emirates, with some emirates such as the government of Dubai retaining broad jurisdiction over legislative, judicial and security affairs.[5] The main jurisdiction of the cabinet lies with standardising laws and coordination between the various emirates, in addition to exclusive jurisdiction over defence and foreign affairs, among others.[1]
