“The 2nd of December will remain etched in the hearts and memories of the UAE citizens as a source of pride and glory. On this day in 1971, the announcement of the Federation of the United Arab Emirates was made to deliver to the Arab world a pioneering unionist model. The development drive then took off under the patronage of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. 


“On the footsteps of the founding fathers, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE; and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President, Prime Minister of the UAE, Ruler of Dubai, are leading the sweeping development drive of the UAE.
