UAE top hub for trade, business and investors' vital destination

As the UAE marks the first anniversary of the “Union Pledge Day” on 18th July, the nation reflects on the pivotal moments that led to its unification, recalling the enduring legacy of the founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his brothers, the Rulers, whose historic declaration in 1971 laid the foundations for the federation.

Dr Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi, Minister of Sports, said: "'Union Pledge Day' is a national occasion on which we commemorate a cherished and deeply rooted memory in the hearts of the Emirati people. It reminds us with pride of the moment that paved the way for the founding of our Union when the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, (May his soul Rest in Peace), along with his fellow Rulers, signed the Union Document and the Constitution of the UAE, officially declaring the establishment of the United Arab Emirates."
