Prince Charles said he was impressed by the UAE's remarkable achievements during his tour of the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology on Monday, the second day of his state visit in the UAE.
The Prince of Wales was particularly impressed by the nation's focus on promoting sustainability, clean technology and renewable energy.
The 67-year-old Prince, who arrived at the Personal Rapid Transit Station on an electric vehicle, was shown the various diorama models and designs of the environmental-friendly city.
He was welcomed by Dr Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, the Minister of State, chairman of Masdar, director general and CEO of Adnoc and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Ports; Mohammed Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar; Shamma Al Mazrui, the Minister of State for Youth; as well other senior officials.
Students also had the chance to impress the heir to the British throne during the 'Youth Circle' discussion, which focused on methods of promoting sustainability and development.
Students answered questions about the environment, while a relaxed looking Prince Charles sat with the crowd and joined the open discussion. "I am so impressed by the quality of your English, it makes my Arabic very shameful," he told the students.
The Youth Minister, who led the discussion, highlighted that the UAE is vastly focusing on nurturing students, in order to help them invest in their future and become active participants in the economy. "In the UAE, we are greatly investing in youth and sustainability and the UAE leadership believe that the youth are the global merging market of assets and potential."
