Sheikha Lubna bint Khalid Al Qasimi, Minister of International Cooperation and Development (MICAD) and Head of the UAE Committee for the Coordination of Humanitarian Foreign Aid, has praised the wisdom and far-sighted vision of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan in supporting the country's approach to spread culture of peace and equality, love, understanding, and mutual respect among all people.

In her remarks on the occasion of issuance of the anti-discrimination law by President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Sheikha Lubna yesterday said the UAE is a country of peace and sends a message to spread peace and culture of non-discrimination based on race, colour or religion to promote co-existence, security, safety and respect among peoples.

She added, "Today, while we see a phenomenon wherein many societies are marred by division, spread of conflicts, fighting and destruction of homelands due to outbreak of racial or religious discrimination, the UAE has taken measures and decisions which safeguard against all negative factors that can lead to in-fighting and discrimination."

Sheikh Lubna also brought to attention that this shrewd vision of the UAE's leadership is gleaned from the teachings of religions and in conformity with the Islamic tolerant teachings which call for equality among all people.

She also indicated, "We feel proud that more than 200 nationalities who embrace a number of religions are living together in peace and harmony in the UAE, thanks to the UAE's prudent leadership, the country has become a safe shelter and the best place to live, in comparison to a number of other countries across the world."
