These values are the major foundations to the UAE’s approach towards a prosperous, happy and sustainable future. They have been the driving force behind the continuous development and prosperity of the nation, which has achieved remarkable progress thanks to the forward-looking vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates; and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, under the flag of the Union,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA).

We pray to Almighty Allah to protect our beloved country and maintain its dignity, prosperity, security, and safety,” added Al Tayer.
