Since the establishment of the Union 42 years ago, the UAE has become the symbol of pride, progress and development, His Highness Shaikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Fujairah, has said.
In a statement to Dira’a Al Watan magazine on the occasion of the UAE’s 42nd National Day, the ruler of Fujairah said: “Union consolidates determination, achieves welfare, coordinates efforts, develops knowledge and science and highlights the country’s stature and hoists its flag high.”
Shaikh Hamad said without the Union they would not have been able to build the homeland, secure a better life, maintain achievements, boost development or increase wealth, adding that it highlights the prestigious stature of the country among nations in the international events.
“Thanks to the wise leadership, its love for its people and the mutual love of the citizens towards their leadership, the march of the union has started and developed steadily.
He said the march of Union is a story of a people, who chose cooperation and building bridges of brotherhood in order to reach the future with confident steps.
“Now, the UAE is a hub of the international economy and a destination of renaissance, prosperity and overall development. For everyone who seeks happiness, security and safety, the UAE will be the destination.
“The UAE, under the umbrella of the Union, is progressing towards more empowerment. All these achievements come within an overall government strategy, which has put the UAE among the most generous, development funding and charitable countries, worldwide.”
