Zaki Anwar Nusseibeh, Minister of State, stated that the memory of the country’s founder and the builder of its modern advancement, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, will remain with the UAE’s people.
He made this statement during a dialogue meeting, titled, ‘Centennial of Zayed,’ which was held on Wednesday by the Emirates Association for Social Development at its headquarters in Saqr bin Mohammed City, coinciding with the end of the Year of Zayed.
During the meeting, Nusseibeh discussed the life of Sheikh Zayed, his works, feats and visions, which enabled him to establish the UAE, as well as the challenges he faced while establishing the federation and his wisdom in dealing with situations and events that took place during this period.
He also highlighted the virtues shown by Sheikh Zayed, who always led his people, monitored their daily lives, and contributed to every development programme and project that he planned and implemented.
He then noted that Sheikh Zayed convinced all those around him to participate in his ambitious project to build a modern country, and encouraged all segments of his people to gather around him and work with him with the same momentum, dedication and effort, to achieve the UAE’s long-term plan to become one of the world’s most developed countries.
Nusseibeh spoke about Sheikh Zayed’s humanitarian legacy, which became a policy of the UAE, was followed by wise leadership, solved many of humanitarian issues, and helped to overcome challenges facing humanity.
