"Every Emirati has an important role in shaping our leadership, and there can be no progress or development without the help of the country's people," highlighted the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince on the occasion of the UAE's Golden Jubilee.

In a statement to the Nation Shield, the UAE Armed Forces' magazine, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who also holds the position of the Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, affirmed that the UAE is moving towards the future based on an integrated strategy whose most critical pillar is human capital – the country's true wealth, which will be vital to compete in the global arena.

The solid foundations built by the UAE through many years of hard work, effort and planning gives confidence that the country now has all the elements in place to be a leader in various fields, he added.

"Our celebration of National Day this year is of special importance, as our beloved nation completes 50 years of its rich history. It is an occasion full of important lessons and great significance for the present and the future.

"The UAE is striding towards the future, determined to excel in many fields and to create a bright future. Our country derives strength and confidence from its major achievements and relies on its wisdom, values, and the teachings of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan to guide us today and into the future.

"Our nation looks to the martyrs' sacrifices as a beacon that lights the way as it aims to contribute to the history of humanity and write a new chapter in its economic and development story."
