Are UAE citizens content? In a recent study titled "Cities of Choice: Are People Happy Where They Live?," this subject was addressed, and Dubai and Abu Dhabi were both ranked among the best cities in the world.

In the "Cities of Choice" study by the US-based Boston Consulting Group, Dubai came out on top in the "Social Capital" dimension, beating out other "cruiser weight" cities with populations of more than 3 million but fewer than 10 million, including Washington, Singapore, San Francisco, Guangzhou, Boston, Seattle, Atlanta, Barcelona, and Berlin.

Dubai received a score of 74, which is considered to be "showing that citizens have a strong feeling of belonging and loyalty to their city and they maintain important social relationships."

The level of social ties and civic engagement within a city are gauged by social capital. Also, it discusses safety, safety in relationships, inclusivity, equality, and identity with culture and history.

The report's co-author and managing director at BCG, Vladislav Boutenko, said it explores the subtleties of how a city functions best—or doesn't. Moving is now simpler than ever before. To keep present residents and draw in new ones, municipal authorities must figure out what makes their citizens happy, he said.

Dubai received a high rating (71 out of 100) in the category for "Economic Opportunities," demonstrating that the city offers a highly favourable environment for businesses and entrepreneurs to develop.

"Opportunities for job, profession, and earning, equality of income prospects for business, and availability of personal loans" are other favourable factors.

Quality of life, interactions with authorities, and speed of change were the other factors in the poll, which involved more than 50,000 people in 79 locations around the globe.

In terms of "cruiser weight cities," Dubai came in at number eight overall, trailing only Boston, Seattle, Boston, Singapore, Guangzhou, Madrid, and Seattle.

The Capital received a score of 73 out of 100 for its "business-friendly environment that supports innovation and entrepreneurship" in the economic opportunities area. Both domestic and foreign investors have been drawn to Abu Dhabi by its aggressive investments in technology, renewable energy, and tourism.

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware.

Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...
