Shaikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development, received on Wednesday Dr. Peter Dorman, President of the American University of Beirut (AUB), who is currently visiting the UAE to attend a charity gala, which the AUB alumni is organising in Dubai tomorrow.
Dr. Dorman invited Shaikh Nahyan to the charitable event, whose proceeds will go for supporting needy students and for funding expansion of the AUB hospital, one of the largest health facilities in the Arab region, which will be completed by 2012.
Nearly 1,200 AUB alumni in the UAE will attend the event. A group of ambassadors and businessmen were also invited.
