Founding Visionary Inspiration

We must not rely on oil alone as the

main source of our national income.

We have to diversify the sources of our

revenue and construct economic projects

that will ensure a free, stable and dignified

life for the people.

The late His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan

Founder of the United Arab Emirates
