The National
November 3, 2008
I enjoyed Sultan Al Qassemi’s recent article on Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak, “The Emirati sheikh of hearts” (Nov 2). If you ask an expatriate in the UAE: which Emirati is closest to your heart? There is a good chance that the answer will be Sheikh Nahyan.
The sheikh has taken a great interest in the social and cultural activities of foreigners living here, not only in the UAE, but also in their home countries, especially India.
He has played a very important role in strengthening the political, economic and cultural relations between the UAE and all of its neighbours.
While Sheikh Nahyan strictly follows his religion, he also gives utmost respect to other religions and their beliefs. He is a fine example to the expatriate community living in the UAE.
