Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, (DM) opened a photo exhibition on Monday about the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the UAE, at the Municipality’s Al Kifaf Centre near Al Jafiliya Metro Station.
The exhibition is part of Dubai Municipality’s plan to launch several initiatives in support of the Year of Zayed 2018, as announced by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The exhibition displays 100 pictures of the official meetings of Sheikh Zayed at the local and international levels, as well as his meetings with citizens during national celebrations. Other pictures include meetings of the Supreme Council of the UAE with the rulers of other emirates. The exhibition will be moved to other centres in the Municipality after two weeks.
The exhibition was organised by the Corporate Marketing and Relations Department in the Municipality using the large photo collection from the Municipality’s archives that contains photos, which depict a long period of events witnessed by the UAE and the emirate of Dubai.
“The Municipality has taken great care to implement the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan by launching many initiatives dedicated to the concept of charitable and humanitarian work, on which the country has been established, since the era of the late Sheikh Zayed, who directed to establish a firm approach in the field of extending humanitarian interaction with all groups and segments of different areas and levels,†added Lootah.
Dubai Municipality has been and continues to be a pioneer in this field and has launched many initiatives in this regard in application of these wise directives inherent in the government and people of the United Arab Emirates,” he said.
