“On this occasion, I remember the directives of the founding father of our nation, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who used to always tell us that lack of interest in history leads to a lack of interest in the future, and that a successful future depends on our creative connection with the origins and extended roots of the homeland and the nation, that is the basis for the progress of a society.”
Sheikh Nahyan noted the inscriptions highlight the importance of the region in the development of civilisations throughout human history.
