UAE President addresses message to the nation

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, has sent a heartfelt message to the citizens and residents of the country to mark the 53rd anniversary of the country’s unification.

The message, published on social networking site X, was handwritten. In it, the UAE leader expressed pride in the country and the nation – citizens and expats alike.

‘Thank you for your determination. Thank you for your endeavours. Thank you for all you do for this country,’ Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan wrote in his message.

A grand show to mark the 53rd anniversary of the UAE’s unification will be held in Al Ain and will be broadcast live. This year’s celebration will focus on the legacy of the UAE’s founding fathers.

Representatives of the organising committee noted the importance of Al Ain’s historical significance, stressing that the city seamlessly blends nature and heritage, reflecting the country’s commitment to sustainable development.

During the celebration period, tourists and UAE residents can enjoy a host of festive events including cultural exhibitions, concerts, parades and fireworks.

Shopping malls across the country are decorated in the national colours and also offer special discounts to celebrate the holiday. The UAE National Day celebrations promise to be a large-scale event that will highlight the country’s rich cultural diversity and history.
