UAE Ambassador Mariam Al Kaabi Celebrates Sheikh Zayed's Enduring Humanitarian Legacy

Mariam Al Kaabi, the UAE Ambassador to Egypt and Permanent Representative to the Arab League, highlighted the enduring legacy of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. His contributions to humanitarianism and generosity have left a lasting impact. The 19th of Ramadan, marking his passing, holds deep significance for Emiratis and is a day of national reflection.

During a Suhoor event in Cairo, organised by the UAE Embassy to commemorate Zayed Humanitarian Day, Al Kaabi emphasised the UAE's commitment to continuing Sheikh Zayed’s legacy. This occasion is marked by ongoing efforts in humanitarian work, inspired by his wisdom and values. Egyptian officials also attended this significant event.

The ambassador noted that Sheikh Zayed's contributions went beyond aid distribution. He focused on human development, healthcare, and education. Establishing schools, universities, libraries, hospitals, and infrastructure projects were among his priorities to improve social conditions in crisis-affected communities.

Al Kaabi stated that Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan continued this path of generosity. Today, President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan ensures the UAE remains a leading donor of humanitarian aid relative to its national income. This commitment has been consistent over several years.

This year’s observance of Zayed Humanitarian Day sees the UAE sending food, relief, and medical aid worldwide. These efforts reinforce its status as a global hub for humanitarian work. The nation remains dedicated to eradicating poverty and supporting vulnerable groups such as children and women.

The UAE's initiatives also focus on improving infrastructure and empowering women, girls, and youth. These actions reflect its steadfast commitment to addressing global challenges through sustained humanitarian efforts.
