On this occasion, we renew our pride in our naval forces, and the development they have achieved and their global competitive material and technological capabilities, due to the initiative of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan.” Al Nahyan, may God have mercy on him, was the first to lay the foundation stone for building what we see today in terms of naval forces capable of performing their duties with all due diligence. “Ability.”
