Impressive and remarkable what the UAE ambassador to the Arab Republic of Egypt, Dr. Hamad Al Shamsi, has done. Although less than three months have passed since he presented his credentials as a new ambassador to the UAE in the Egyptian capital, he was able to break many of the routine rules for ambassadors' work, but he broke them. For the better and in the interest of increasing social ties, before political and economic, between the two peoples.

He did not sit in his office, nor did he restrict his movements to increase ties and strengthen relations, between the offices of ministers and officials only, and he was not satisfied with exchanging official visits, and exchanging parties and banquets with other ambassadors, all of these things are required of ambassadors, this is true, but he added to it a new dimension, It may be unfamiliar in diplomatic work, a humanitarian and popular dimension, as he went to the regions far from the capital, to the areas located in the Egyptian depth, where the simple citizens, and where life is far from civil and its consequences, so he left a beautiful impact on the Egyptian street, and received media coverage. It was widely viewed, with nearly 50 million views on one of the popular programs.

The Emirati ambassador did not go in a large procession, nor did he ride the black “Mercedes”, as he is fully aware that the simpler a person is with the simple people, the greater his rank and status for them, so he boarded with a small number of members of the Emirati diplomatic mission the train that the Egyptian people ride, and he traveled between Far away provinces, to see closely a component of the social fabric in Egypt, and is interested in conveying the voice of the people and government of the UAE, which is full of love and adoration for the Egyptian people, with whom we have strong and strong historical relations, established by the late, God willing, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan .

The scene did not need analysis, the warm reception with which the Egyptian citizens met the ambassador, dispenses with words, large numbers by hundreds, with folk songs, and all of them chant: Zayed .. Zayed .. They did so because they really love Sheikh Zayed, may God have mercy on him, and they love the Emirates, because they Here with their simplicity, spontaneity, purity of their bed, kindness, and generosity, they do not know compliments, and do not make exaggerations, this is how they are, they love us and love the Emirates and Sheikh Zayed, for decades, they have not changed, and nothing will change them!
