“The UAE was founded on a set of principles established by the founder Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul, the most important of which are support for the weak, relief for the needy, and support for a brother and friend.” This is what His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, may God protect him, said in his tweet. He published it yesterday on his account on the social networking site "Twitter", and concluded it with a wonderful sentence expressing the firm policy and strategy of the UAE, which does not change with time, as he said: "The UAE will continue to follow its principles, no matter how the conditions of their support change."

This is how the UAE is, and this is how its leaders, as well as its generous and generous people, do good because they are good people, and because they love to do good, without hypocrisy, pretension, or reaching other goals, using the provision of humanitarian aid.

The UAE’s aid reaches the needy person, because he is a human being, and this is enough, regardless of his nationality, religion, or state’s position, and the form of his political system. This does not concern us at all, because politics has other doors. As for humanitarian aid, it has only one chapter, which is relief The human being, and preserving his life and dignity.

108 billion dirhams, provided by the UAE as humanitarian aid to 42 countries, within five years, through which it contributed to the support of the weak, the relief of the distressed, and the support of the needy, in all continents of the world, and in the hottest and poorest points of the world, did not ask about religions and nationalities, but invested money For the benefit of mankind, this is its policy, and these are its principles upon which it is based.

The principles of the UAE are fixed, and its humanitarian aid is never linked to changing political positions. It is neither its customs nor its principles to link this with that. It has never been proven that it used its external humanitarian aid to gain political support or support, and this will never happen, and history testifies that the UAE provided Huge aid to many countries, which did not have honorable stances towards the state in international forums, and its aid to these countries did not stop, even with proven positions against the UAE, this does not happen at all because the principles of the Emirates make it deal with countries with their morals and values, not the ethics of the systems of those countries !

The UAE plays an important global role in the global race of good, as it is the initiator of every humanitarian call, and its aid crosses the humanitarian borders to deliver aid and aid convoys to all people, far from any ideological or sectarian considerations that prevent the delivery of good, it is the humanitarian approach that has characterized the UAE, since It was founded by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul!
