"As you represent the UAE in the international arena, we are confident that you will work hard to enhance the reputation the UAE has achieved by building bridges of friendship and positive ties with other nations, by perpetuating the approach of tolerance, co-existence and openness, upon which, our country is founded, and by realising our prudent leadership's vision for balanced and effective relations with all countries. Thanks to those factors, the UAE has earned the respect and trust of the world, and has become a leading destination for visitors and tourists from all over the world," Sheikh Mohamed said.
