His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai received the 'Order of the Mother of the Nation' from His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, on Wednesday.
The Order was awarded to Sheikh Mohammed in recognition of his humanitarian initiatives in less developed countries through the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives.
The award ceremony held at the Emirates Palace Auditorium also honoured the winners of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Awards (HHSFBMA), which feature the Fatima bint Mubarak Award and the Fatima bint Mubarak Family House Award.
Sheikh Mohammed expressed his happiness at receiving the Order that carries the name of the 'Mother of the Nation'.
He said: "I am honoured to receive this Order, which reflects the values established by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan." Sheikh Mohammed added that Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak is a role model for a woman leader who is committed to the welfare of the people. Her initiatives have reinforced the UAE's profile as a nation that places a high priority on the wellbeing of its people.
The leaders further said that a successful leader constantly engages with the people and develops initiatives to enhance the happiness and welfare of citizens, which are key priorities of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Sheikh Mohamed.
The Dubai Ruler said that the UAE Government is constantly working to provide the best quality of life for its citizens, while also helping less privileged people in other parts of the world to improve their lives.
