When I came to the UAE 28 years ago, I heard about Shaikh Zayed as the ruler of the common man. He understood the needs and aspirations of ordinary people on the streets. I think he was the best ruler in the Arab world. His farsighted vision helped the UAE to achieve its current progress.”

During my 23 years of living in the UAE, I have tried to learn more about this country and found Shaikh Zayed’s unique vision in each and every sphere of development in this country. I admire him for his wisdom. Though he was not highly educated, he was wise enough to establish a country and lead it to wonderful progress.”
