President Sheikh Mohamed set out the country’s commitment to honouring the “enduring spirit” of UAE Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, to mark Zayed Humanitarian Day on Wednesday.
The UAE leader said Sheikh Zayed’s humanitarian legacy serves as a source of inspiration for the nation and pledged to uphold his philanthropic principles.
He said that the Emirates would continue to build on the foundations laid down by Sheikh Zayed by working to deliver crucial assistance to communities in need across the globe.
“The humanitarian legacy of our nation’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed, continues to inspire us to embrace the values of generosity, social solidarity, and service to humanity,” Sheikh Mohamed wrote on social media platform X.
“On Zayed Humanitarian Day, the UAE reaffirms its commitment to honouring Sheikh Zayed and his enduring spirit of giving by extending a helping hand and working together to uplift communities around the world.”
Zayed Humanitarian Day is observed each year on the 19th day of Ramadan, the date of Sheikh Zayed’s death in 2004.
The annual event shines a light on Sheikh Zayed’s humanitarian spirit and is an occasion on which the UAE typically launches major charitable initiatives.
