"In the 1960s, while Russia and the United States were sending humans to space, we had no running water, no universities. When the UAE was founded in 1971, we had only 45 university graduates and barely any infrastructure. But with vision, leadership, and determination, we transformed our nation. Today, we are not just catching up—we are helping build the next international space station."
January 1, 1970
