President Sheikh Mohamed is ‘spirit of the nation’, Ruler of Dubai says

UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has expressed his deep admiration for Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, describing him as a brother, friend, and lifelong companion. He stated that Sheikh Mohammed has been at the heart of every Emirati achievement since their bond was forged nearly six decades ago.

In response to a message from Sheikh Mohammed, who is set to publish his new book, The Messages, the President emphasized the strong relationship they share and their continued commitment to the path set by the UAE's Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. "My brother, friend, lifelong companion, my pride and my support in following Zayed's path, Bu Rashid, every Emirati achievement has you at its heart," Sheikh Mohamed said.

The President's words are a medal of honor for Sheikh Mohammed and he cherishes the brotherhood and affection between them. He implores Allah to preserve this bond, protect the UAE and its people, and ensure the nation remains true to the trust placed in it. The exchange highlights the enduring partnership between the UAE's two leaders that has guided the nation through decades of development and transformation.

Sheikh Mohammed's book offers a personal reflection on this journey, featuring letters and insights on leadership, public service, and key individuals who have shaped his life and the UAE's progress.
