ABU DHABI / WAM

Dr Sultan bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of State of the UAE and Chairman of Abu Dhabi’s Masdar, has stressed that Abu Dhabi’s support of the first solar-powered flight around the globe by Solar Impulse 2 (Si2), a cooperative venture between the UAE and Switzerland, sends a positive message about the success of partnership and collaboration.
Al Jaber made the remark in an article entitled “The lasting impact of Solar Impulse”, published on Sunday.
“The partnership that brought Solar Impulse to life showed us that what unites humanity is more powerful than what divides us,” he said. The following is the full text of the article penned by Dr Sultan bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, who is also Chairman of Masdar, Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy company.
“At a time when the world could benefit from a positive message of hope and unity, the first solar-powered flight around the globe has captured our collective imagination. While media attention is too often focused on conflict and division, it is inspiring to see a success story go viral that exemplifies what can be accomplished when we put our positive energy into partnership and collaboration, so that together we can create a brighter and happier tomorrow,” said Jaber.
