It is an opportunity to remember the impact and pioneering achievements in humanitarian work by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may his soul rest in peace. His quality initiatives improved the lives of millions around the world. They also laid the foundation for the principles followed by the wise leadership of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE; His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai; and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces to consolidate the UAE’s position as one of the most volunteering, and benevolent countries in the world,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Suqia UAE.
