UAE: This is how the Arab country became prosperous

The UAE celebrated its 50th National Day on December 2. In July 1971, six states (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain) agreed on a federal constitution to be under the UAE. Since then, the UAE has been celebrating Independence Day on December 2 every year.

 
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has also stated that the UAE National Day will be celebrated as International Future Day in the future. Wishing good luck on the occasion, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of UAE, said that he would pass on the opportunity and plan to the next generation.

Sheikh Jai was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1971 after the decision to join the Union. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan became the first official president of the Union and Sheikh Rakhid the vice president in the newly formed House of the Union.

The UAE flag is red, black, green and white, symbolizing Arab unity. The flag was legalized on December 2, 1971. Geographically, the UAE is located southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia.

When oil was not discovered in the 1950's, the country's economy depended on the pearl industry and the fishing industry. In 1962, oil was discovered in most parts of the UAE. Which changed the economy and living standards of this country. The UAE is now a hub for regional tourism and trade.

After the death of Saeed bin Kamatum Al Maktoum in 1958, Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum became the ruler of the UAE, a leading figure in the development of the country. He was involved in oil exploration and other developments.

On the occasion of National Day, the leaders of the country have paid tributes to the senior leaders who are facing the challenge of nation building. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Dubai's vice president and ruler, recalled the first generation of the UAE's founding, which laid the foundation for the country's prosperity.

Sheikh Mohammed said that the most important asset of UAE is human capital. "We consider human capital to be real capital and an important element of our wealth and our main asset in the global arena. The development of this country would not have been possible without their support, ”he said.

On the occasion, the UAE leaders said that they would use the experience of the last 50 years for a better future for their citizens. "History inspires us to be more dedicated to the service of the country. We will continue our progress and goal and strive to be number one in all development indices, "said Sheikh Mohammed.

He said the UAE would enter the next five decades with many ambitious exploration projects. "After our successful mission to Mars, we now plan to launch a spacecraft that will explore the belts of Venus and the asteroids on the moon," he said. He said that they are also involved in nuclear power generation. "Besides, we will be number one in our country in terms of various global competitions," he said.
