His Highness emphasised that 53 years of glory, creativity, and dedication have transformed the nation into a global model of excellence in politics, economy, culture, and tolerance.
He recalled the founding of the UAE on 2nd December 1971, led by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and honoured the decisive actions of the founding fathers in establishing the United Arab Emirates.
In his statement marking the UAE's 53rd Eid Al Etihad, Sheikh Hamad stated, "History records actions, not intentions, and let history bear witness to your deeds, which have reached new heights, driven by noble intentions inspired by the values and perseverance of our ancestors."
“Over the years, the unity of the people has been the key to the UAE's strength, with each generation building on the legacy of the one before.”
Sheikh Hamad also praised the leadership of President His Highness Sheikh
Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who continues the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed, guiding the country toward further achievements.
His Highness added, “Fifty-three years of history cannot be captured in words alone. Glory to you, for your history, present, and future. Glory to the UAE’s flag, which will remain high and proud forever.”
“As the nation continues to thrive, its roots are firmly planted in the past, while its future reaches for the sky. Over the years, the unity of the people has been the key to their strength, with each generation building on the legacy of the one before.”
