He noted that the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, established the UAE as a global model for tolerance, coexistence and cooperation, and was keen to inculcate these values among his people, who to this day, "continue to embody their meanings in every way both within the UAE and beyond".
He took to Twitter and said: "We recall the great heritage that Sheikh Zayed founded on tolerance and today characterises the UAE's diverse society. The world today needs universal human values to be promoted for the sake of future generations."
