We are lucky to be reaping the fruits of the hard work of our leaders who have set the country on the path to unprecedented economic growth and prosperity."

H.E. Al Ghurair further stated that this initiative of planting the Union Tree by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed pays tribute to the efforts of the founding fathers of the country including the late H.H.
