The name change marks Sheikh Mohammed's announcement of the theme for the Year of Tolerance which is being celebrated this year.

The logo, which is inspired by the ghaf, the UAE's national tree, is set to be used by government, private and media entities in all campaigns, initiatives and programmes launched in 2019.

Sheikh Mohammed, in a tweet on the occasion, said: "Tolerance is a universal value, and ghaf is our authentic national tree, a source of life and symbol of stability in the middle of the desert. Under its shadows our ancestors gathered to consult on matters related to their daily lives. In the Year of Tolerance, we chose the ghaf as a logo for all of us to live by the principles of tolerance, coexistence and diversity."
