Speaking on the occasion, Najeeb Mohammed Al-Ali – Executive Director, Dubai Expo 2020 Bureau, said, “As the UAE celebrates its National Day in the Year of Zayed, Expo 2020 would like to congratulate our country’s wise leadership and its proud citizens on this momentous day. We look forward to showing our nation’s warm hospitality and rich culture to the world at Expo 2020 in less than two years’ time.”

The UAE was born 47 years ago, when its Founding Father the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan brought the seven emirates together to form a nation. Each year on 2nd December, the UAE takes the opportunity to honour the country’s heritage, thank its leaders and celebrate its emergence onto the global stage.
