A Ramadan Majlis Mohamed bin Zayed lecture titled Journey to Self: Rising to Challenges and Choosing Happiness was delivered by author and self-development trainer Dr Khalid Almunif. The lecture explored how people can prioritise their personal growth, heighten their appreciation for life’s blessings and face challenges with wisdom. The UAE attaches great importance to enabling people’s progress, prosperity and happiness, and we will continue to invest in initiatives that support this endeavour.

Our Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed, was a wise mentor and an inspirational role model to his children and to the nation, and his legacy continues to shape the ongoing development of our country and its people. As we mark Father’s Day, I congratulate fathers across the UAE and commend their pivotal role in the family and community. | Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan
