On this day each year, we take the opportunity to renew our pledge to stand united and spare no effort in maintaining our beloved nation’s growing prominence and leading position in the world and its prosperity, thereby ensuring the well-being of its people.

Together, we raise the UAE flag, the symbol of our dignity and pride, so that this banner of belonging continues to fly high, expressing our love and loyalty to our young nation and our gratitude to its founders.

On this cherished occasion, we recall with deep gratitude and appreciation the journey and achievements of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his fellow Founding Fathers, and their successful efforts in uniting the Emirati people and forging a nation that instils great pride in both its citizens and residents. Through continued hard work and unity under the guidance of our wise leadership, we have become one of the happiest nations in the world, living in a country that stands as a model of stability, progress and prosperity across all sectors.
