The Founding Fathers of the UAE, Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum can justifiably be proud as the first President and Prime Minister of the Country. Their sons currently the President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and grandsons and their brothers, the Members of the National Supreme Council have all continued their enormous endeavours to make UAE one of the best countries in the world by many measurement metrics. This is a singular achievement that has been made possible, because the leadership in the UAE has always wanted to benchmark themselves to the world’s best that can be accomplished. Whether it is in the social, economic, cultural segments or indeed in terms of softer values namely; contribution to the environment, humanitarian and philanthropic initiatives, acting as peace-maker in regional conflicts and across a number of developments, the UAE’s initiatives have augured well for the future of the region. They have meticulously taken care of their citizens, especially the younger Emiratis and they have made the UAE a great country that welcomes and treats its expatriate workforce with dignity, care and attention. More importantly, they have embarked on a liberalisation track giving nationality to some long standing expatriates, Golden Visas, 100 per cent ownership rights and incentives for inward investments — all aimed at sustaining their economic growth orientation without disparity or disturbance. 50 years still makes the UAE one of the youngest nations of the world but on the other hand,50 years is also a major milestone and one which solidifies and sustains the positive outlook for decades and generations to come.

I take this opportunity to congratulate the leadership and citizens of the UAE on its 50th anniversary of the Union. As someone who has lived in the UAE for over 32 years and having seen tremendous progress in the last 20 years turning the UAE into the most modern state to live and work, I feel delighted and take pride in the UAE’s 50th anniversary. The UAE is one of the safest place and easiest place to do business. It’s a country which welcomes all and discriminates against none, its governance model and adoption of e-governance, technology, renewable energy, net zero emission by 2050, and interfaith collaboration is something that is a shining example. At IBPC, we are working to support the trade and commerce activity between the UAE and India , support flow of two-way FDI and expand the networking across the business and professional diaspora. Today on this happy 50th anniversary, my wish is for the UAE to keep growing and become the business capital of the world in very near future .
