Each year, Sheikh Mohammed uses the day to mark something meaningful or launch a major initiative. For this year’s Accession Day, he launched a document called ‘4th of January Document’ that established a new council called the ‘Dubai Council’.
The council will take the lead in six key sectors: Economy, citizens’ services, governmental development, infrastructure, justice and security, and health and knowledge. Here are the other initiatives he has launched in the past:
2011: Orphans, we care for you: He dedicated the fifth anniversary of his accession as Dubai Ruler to orphans. He urged residents to contribute to their cause.
