French president says Europe must support firms in AI, green energy
"I was 11 years old. I never did understand the illusion leaders planted in the souls of their people that they were of a higher class and chosen by blood. They drifted away from their people, until they were ousted.
"In 1971, I attended a royal ceremony the 'king of kings' had organised to celebrate the 2,500-year anniversary of the Persian Empire. It cost approximately $100 million, which was a big amount back then. This celebration taught me an unforgettable lesson: The difference between the way the Shah of Iran ruled his country, and the way we rule in Dubai and the UAE.
"On my way to the ceremony, I passed by many poor Iranian villages that did not even have access to electricity. Two opposing images, yet they were from the same place.
"I saw my father starting his day with a tour along with his people and how he himself followed up on projects' implementations with engineers and workers. "I saw him receiving the public in his meetings and his council, and how he always had lunch with his guests.
Eight years after the royal celebration, the 'king of kings' fell, following demonstrations that turned into a revolution.
