Tweeting in three languages, Hindi, English and Arabic, the UAE President said, "Sincere best wishes to all those in the UAE and around the world celebrating Diwali. May the year ahead bring peace, health and happiness to you and your families."

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai took to X to extend his "warmest wishes".

He said, "Warmest wishes to all those celebrating Diwali in the UAE and across the world. May the festival of lights bring joy, peace, and safety to you and your loved ones. Let the light in your hearts guide you toward harmony, compassion, and shared understanding. Happy Diwali!"

The festival of lights is being celebrated on Thursday, October 31, this year. The festival signifies the victory of light over darkness.
