UAE Celebrates Zayed Humanitarian Day, Honouring Founding Father's Legacy
Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the UAE's Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, recently underscored the significance of Zayed Humanitarian Day. He highlighted it as a reflection of the UAE's enduring commitment to humanitarian values, transcending differences in religion, ethnicity, nationality, or color. This sentiment aligns with the ethos of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and is actively embodied by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the Emirati people.
The Ministry of Tolerance and Coexistence marked Zayed Humanitarian Day with a series of events and collaborations with various ministries and institutions. Among these was the launch of "Zayed, the Source of Giving" seminars, supported by Sheikh Nahyan and featuring discussions with Emirati writers and thinkers. Additionally, the ministry contributed to the "Ghars Zayed" forum, which celebrated two decades of enduring impact under the theme "Twenty Years Have Passed and Its Effects Are Immortal".
Sheikh Nahyan emphasized that Zayed Humanitarian Day serves as a platform for Emiratis to express their respect and admiration for the Founding Father. He noted that Sheikh Zayed's legacy continues to inspire pride, drawing from an inexhaustible source of values and principles that have shaped the nation's past, present, and future.
Reflecting on the anniversary of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan's passing, Sheikh Nahyan remarked on the forward-looking vision of current leadership. He praised President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan for his dedication to advancing the nation's renaissance while upholding its core values, identity, principles, and morals established by Sheikh Zayed.
The humanitarian approach championed by Sheikh Zayed is celebrated for its global reach and inclusivity. This legacy is furthered by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed's initiatives that benefit humanity at large, irrespective of religious or cultural backgrounds.
Sheikh Nahyan also highlighted that Zayed Humanitarian Day coincides with the UAE's achievements in fostering tolerance, coexistence, and human fraternity values. He concluded by reflecting on the timeless influence of Sheikh Zayed as a noble leader and national role model, expressing gratitude for the wise leadership provided by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The commemoration of Zayed Humanitarian Day thus not only honors the memory of the UAE's Founding Father but also reaffirms the nation's commitment to humanitarian principles under its current leadership. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his vision for a compassionate and inclusive world.
