On the occasion of the agency’s establishment, His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the UAE's Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, highlighted that the UAE Aid Agency is a continuation of the humanitarian legacy established by the nation's founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
