52nd UAE National Day

The 52nd UAE National Day holds immense significance for the people of the United Arab Emirates a country I have been fortunate to call my second home for the past 23 years. During this momentous occasion, we celebrate the union of the seven Emirates and pay tribute to the visionary leadership of its rulers.

His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi has played a pivotal role in the nation's growth and development. His unwavering commitment to the well-being and prosperity of the people has resulted in remarkable achievements and advancements across various sectors.

In Dubai, we are fortunate to have the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and his son, His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai. Sheikh Mohammed's visionary approach has transformed Dubai into a global city known for its innovation and iconic landmarks. At the same time, Sheikh Hamdan's passion for sports, poetry and humanitarian efforts has made a positive impact on the community.

As we commemorate this special day, let us reflect on the remarkable journey of the nation and express our gratitude for the visionary leadership that has guided it towards prosperity.
