Modern country
The book, published by the centre, highlights Shaikh Zayed's outstanding efforts in the building of a modern country which now occupies a leading position on the world map.
"The book will always be a reference to learn lessons that help us carry on with the process of giving in the empowerment era that followed the foundation stage led by the late Shaikh Zayed," Shaikh Khalifa said.
