Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Interior. "Such a life will provide the ID card holders with easy movement, thus saving both time and energy, Sheikh Saif stated today on the occasion of the opening of the forum and exhibition of ID cards in the capital." He said the UAE had already commenced a massive operation to automate all government transactions under the ambitious e-government initiative. Sheikh Saif said the two-day international gathering would provide an ideal forum for attending countries to boost cooperation among them and share technological and administrative experiences in the field of smart cards.
