Department of Municipal Affairs receives Ambassador of Vietnam

Notes and media contacts

Vietnam's economy is a developing economy. Throughout history, Vietnam was among agricultural centers of the world and soon had some commercial ports. Over that period, the economy has experienced rapid growth and has been rising as an image of world's leading agricultural exporter and a bright foreign investment attraction destination in East and Southeast Asia.

About Department of Municipal Affairs:
The Department of Municipal Affairs (DMA) commenced operations in May 2007, following the Abu Dhabi Executive Council's decision to integrate the Emirate's municipal system. As a new government entity, the Department of Municipal Affairs was created to lead, coordinate and oversee three municipalities in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Western Region. The DMA has a regulatory role while the service delivery and operations are at the municipality level.

On the 5th of May 2008, the Department of Municipal Affairs along with the Abu Dhabi Municipality, Al Ain Municipality and Western Region Municipality embarked upon a new municipal services journey, with the signing of the historic Municipal Charter which aligns the DMA and three municipalities towards greater collaboration and cooperation.
