UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan wrote a heartfelt note on Father’s Day on X platform.
Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed said, “You will forever be our mentor, our father, and the symbol of our nation.”
The Father’s Day is a holiday honoring one’s father, as well as fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society.
In 2023, Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed tweeted some old pictures of late Sheikh Zayed to mark the Zayed Humanitarian Day, which falls on 19th of Ramadan every year.
Sheikh Mohamed recalled the generosity and compassion of late Sheikh Zayed saying these virtues of the ‘father of nation’ continue to inspire the UAE’s humanitarian work today.
The UAE’s giving approach stems from the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed, who established the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development in 1971 to serve as a help to brothers and friends by contributing to development projects and growth for their peoples.
