UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said the UAE has kicked off a new phase in its history, passing over the last fifty years through many stages in its successful journey from “establishment” to “empowerment”, with each stage having its own goals, characteristics, and mechanisms of action.
Sheikh Mohamed also stated that the UAE will remain a key partner and supporter of everything that brings about progress and development for humanity, and enhances the world’s ability to meet its challenges, foremost of which are climate change, food security, diseases, epidemics, and poverty.
“Taking care of our citizens and opening up all avenues of development, creativity, and self-affirmation before them has been, and will always remain our top priority and we will spare no effort to achieve this goal,” Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed said in his message on the 51st UAE National Day.
