On Sunday, President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan urged residents of all nationalities in the UAE to uphold the nation’s values of “peaceful coexistence and understanding.”
In a message posted on X, Sheikh Mohamed emphasized that “security and safety are the bedrock of our society” and highlighted the role of the UAE’s diverse population in the country’s development.
“More than 200 nationalities live side by side in the UAE, all contributing to the ongoing development of our nation,” he stated. “Security and safety are the bedrock of our society, and we encourage everyone who calls the UAE home to uphold these principles of peaceful coexistence and understanding.”
In a previous Union Day address marking 52 years of the UAE’s formation, Sheikh Mohamed underscored the importance of unity in driving national progress. He said, “The people of the UAE are central to our efforts to advance. It is through devotion and selflessness towards the nation that true accomplishments are realized. Unity and loyalty, established by the late Sheikh Zayed and his brothers, form the foundation of our success and will continue to guide us in the future, God willing.”
