“The Flag Day signifies the feelings of unity and tolerance among the people as well as loyalty to the UAE, which is set to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the federation on the 2nd of December.
The Flag Day, which corresponds to the 3rd of November, is a national event in which we honour the value of the national flag. Since established by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the UAE embedded the practice of belonging, pride and achievements. Accordingly, the UAE has turned into a beacon of peace, tolerance and quality living for all citizens, residents and visitors as well as a meeting place for all civilisations.
Our beloved country is aspiring for next fifty years with pride, cohesion and national unity, which we inherited from our leaders, who imparted on us the pride and loyalty to the flag. We pledge to them to remain loyal and committed to the path of the union. We will continue to work hard and prioritise the prosperity of citizens such that they become one of the happiest people on earth.
