He prioritised the care given to the young people, safeguarded their rights at the forefront of development, and placed them in a very important and strategic position.”

Since the country’s establishment, he sought to prepare a conscious and educated generation capable of assuming responsibility for development, and equipped morals and values gleaned from the authenticity of our civilisation, sustained by our ancient history. This enlightened approach has been adopted by the wise leadership under President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed and Their Highnesses Supreme Council Members and Rulers of the Emirates.
