with international partnerships such as the New York and Sorbonne Universities, INSEAD, Imperial College London, and the Cleveland Clinic; the launching of the Saadiyat Cultural District [with the Sheikh Zayed, Louvre and Guggenheim museums]; the opening of Masdar City [the world's first carbon zero urban centre], Burj Khalifa, and the remarkable Yas Marina; the expansion of international airports and ports; and the inauguration of new Industrial zones, cities and financial centres. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan dedicated his life and service to the prosperity of his people, the security of the Union, the distinction of his country on the world stage, environmental and social sustainability, and tolerance, peace, and stability. We are fortunate that our third President, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan worked in close partnership with Sheikh Khalifa throughout that era and in particular during the period of his brother’s illness. Their collaboration ensured the continuation and realisation of the vision and values of their father Sheikh Zayed. Shortly before his passing, Sheikh Khalifa’s government ascribed to ten guiding principles for the next fifty years of the country’s development. These embody the vision and uphold the values that have become the ethic and hallmark of the nation. We can therefore have every confidence that under the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the third era of this country’s development will be as successful, sustainable, and as transformational as the first two. .
