This came during the cabinet meeting chaired by Sheikh Mohammed on Sunday.

“Today I presided over a cabinet meeting whose first item was to honour Sheikha Al Naimi with her mother, a social worker in one of Al Ain’s schools, for setting a great example of how the school could be a source of positive energy with a warm hug by a teacher,” tweeted Sheikh Maohammed.

“Sheikha Al-Naimi cheered all of us ... with her positivity ... and her energy ... and tenderness ... and treated the sons of the homeland as if they were her sons and children ... she is an example and role model not only for our schools but even for our government institutions,” Sheikh Mohammed tweeted further.
