Dubai – It has been 17 years since Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum took over as the ruler of Dubai. A ruler relentlessly marching towards his goal, saying that the word ‘impossible’ does not exist in the UAE’s dictionary.
Say you dream, UAE will make it come true and is working round the clock for the new goal. After the death of the previous ruler, Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Sheikh Mohammed took over the administration of the Emirate of Dubai on January 4, 2006. Along with that, the titles of UAE Vice President and Prime Minister are being decorated.
Sheikh Mohammed’s role in bringing the UAE and Dubai to the front of the world in the development of trade, industry and tourism is indescribable. Sheikh Mohammed and the country have a history of facing challenges with courage.
The small country of UAE has achieved many achievements that big countries cannot reach, such as artificial intelligence, digital arena, space and nuclear energy. The UAE is also a leader in the fields of science, technology, art, sports, social and culture. The role of this statesman was crucial in the safe and successful conduct of Dubai Expo 2020, a world-class fair, when the world was confined to its homes in the face of the Covid pandemic.
His wealth of experience working with Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the first ruler and father of Dubai, his brother and former ruler Sheikh Maktoum bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and the father of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, made him a strong ruler.
UAE’s first astronaut, Hassa Almansoori, has created history by successfully landing in space and back. The fully indigenously developed Rashid rover is on its way to the Moon. The final preparations to send Sultan Al Neyadi to spend 6 months in space to conduct research have also been completed.
The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center in Dubai is at the helm of all this. The journey towards the dream of a colony on Mars has begun. UAE made history by testing and distributing the first vaccine against Covid.
The determination of Sheikh Mohammed is also behind the projects that attracted the world such as Mohammed Bin Rashid Library and Future Museum. The ruler who works tirelessly to elevate the country to the top of the world has been paying close attention to every issue of the citizens and seeking information in person whenever he gets an opportunity.
Sheikh Mohammed is the protector of natives and foreigners but also of the birds and animals living in this country. Around 35 lakh expatriate Indians, including the Malayalis, who live here, also offer their best wishes to Sheikh Mohammed who has used the crisis as an opportunity.
