UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, have marked Union Pledge Day by reaffirming their commitment to the nation's unity and progress.

Similarly, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum spoke about the importance of this day in bringing the country together and building a bright future.

In his inspiring post on X, he wrote: "Union Pledge... the day the Founding Fathers agreed on the idea of the Union and the Constitution of the Union... the day we renew our pledge to preserve this Union... renew our determination to strengthen this foundation... and renew our solidarity to safeguard our achievements and build the future of the Union's generations."
