ABU DHABI: The UAE has maintained its position as one of the safest places in the world, according to the Global Terrorism Index.
The GTI provides a comprehensive summary of global trends and patterns that have influenced terrorism over the past two decades, based on an analysis of various social and economic conditions, and influential geopolitical factors.
Emirates News Agency reported on Thursday that the UAE is one of the safest countries worldwide, with a “very low” risk of the spread of terrorist activities.
It is also considered one of the most effective countries in taking measures to combat terrorist and extremist activities.
The ranking is based on findings from the Institute for Economics and Peace, which is responsible for the index and publishes its results annually.
