- 03 Nov 2023
President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has hailed the UAE’s enduring unity and the loyalty of its people at a ceremony to mark Flag Day in Abu Dhabi. His Highness raised the UAE flag at Qasr Al Hosn, a location that was central to the early growth of the nation and remains a cultural and historic landmark today.
The UAE President was joined at the ceremony by astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, who earlier this year completed a pioneering six-month mission aboard the International Space Station, during which he became the first Arab to perform a spacewalk.
Al Neyadi’s participation was symbolic of the nation’s journey of progress, the ongoing ambition of its people, and the UAE’s growing role in the science, technology and space exploration sectors.
