    The UAE’s Founding Father Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Father of Dubai Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, after hoisting the UAE flag with the rulers of all emirates upon the formation of the UAE in December 1971. Sheikh Khalifa said, “The Year 50 represents a historic defining moment in our journey that started immediately after the declaration of the UAE’s union in 1971. It’s an acknowledgement of the resolute will and strong determination our Founding Fathers had while building up their nation. It also comes in recognition of the sincere efforts made by our citizens for our nation to be what we are seeing today as one of the best growing and fastest developing countries in the world.” Image Credit: WAM/Gulf News archives
