This youthful nation, built by the dedicated efforts of its citizens, ceaselessly excels and innovates, achieving one success after another. Our leaders inscribe a history that will inspire nations and generations for years to come.
Since the time of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, our nation has been a symbol of pride and honour. Today, it races ahead to build a distinguished legacy worthy of its generous people.
Moreover, this latest achievement, marking Abu Dhabi and Dubai as the best places to live, is a testament to this unique excellence. We are rightfully proud of this distinction and creativity, remaining always loyal and united, dedicated to our wise leadership and striving to achieve the top rank in all fields.
As His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, has said about the UAE:
“We lead in knowledge and work
Every day, we achieve new glory and pride
We compete with the world
Our flag never ceases to fly high, while others fall.”
This accomplishment is the result of significant efforts led by our nation’s leaders, foremost among them being His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, who has followed in the footsteps of the founding father.
Today, the UAE is a sanctuary of security and safety, welcoming people from all corners of the globe who seek a place where they can feel secure, comfortable, and stable, enjoying coexistence, peace, love, and reassurance.
Our beloved nation has made great strides in security, safety, health, and education, setting an example for other nations to follow. These sectors have seen tremendous development, which has played a significant role in crowning our beloved capital, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai as the best places to live in the Middle East and North Africa.
May the achievements of our nation continue, and may our flag always fly high.
