His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and the Ruler of Dubai, has shared a message of hope to the United Arab Emirates community on World Humanitarian Day.

In a post on his official X account, he wrote of how "the UAE has chosen throughout its history... its values... and since its founding by Zayed the Good and his brothers to be on the right side of humanitarian work."

H.H. Sheikh Mohammed also reaffirmed how the UAE will "remain, God willing, one of impact... and a maker of hope and life."

علمتني الحياة..

في ميزان الإنسانية... لا يقاس الحضور بارتفاع الصوت.. بل بعمق الأثر..

لا يقاس الحضور بمن يتحدث عن آلام البشر.. بل بمن يخففها...

لا يقاس بالحضور في عناوين الصحف... بل بالحضور في حياة الناس...

عملتني الحياة بأن الإنسانية لا تحتاج لمن يتحدث باسمها... بل بمن يعمل…
