Today, we stand in reverence, pride, and pride in front of a great memory and a bright, bright page of history, as the UAE commemorates the 48th anniversary of the unification of our armed forces on this day in the year 1976, with a historic decision from the founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul, and his founding brothers, may his mercy and blessings be upon them. In a step that laid the sound foundation for building advanced armed forces in accordance with a doctrine whose motto is God, the nation, the head of state, which is based on preserving the nation, defending its sanctuary and pure soil, protecting its achievements and gains, and being a help and support for the brother and friend.
Since that time, our armed forces have gone through continuous stages of modernization and development, becoming today among the most powerful armies in the world in terms of equipment, equipment and development. They are proud of what they have achieved and achieved thanks to the insightful vision of the founder, may God rest his soul, and the sound directives and diligent follow-up since that early stage of the leader of the march. Blessings to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the State, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, may God protect him, throughout the military positions and responsibilities that he assumed with all skill and ability during their various stages of time.
The story of building the armed forces with this high level of progress, development, efficiency, and high military and combat readiness was an image of the building of the Emirati person and his country, based on the same strategic vision as it is the focus of national construction.
As an extension of that vision, our armed forces had external participation in the Gulf, Arab and international countries, in victory for the truth and the support of the oppressed. It showed an honorable performance befitting its great readiness and capabilities, and wherever it is it spreads goodness and love, and provides the humanitarian, basic and developmental needs that these brotherly and friendly societies need. I was honored to accompany it on some of those honorable milestones that contributed to writing new pages in its history.
During the past few years, our armed forces have been entering a new phase in their history as they unleash the minds and energies of the Emirates to build an integrated system of defense industries, in precise areas of great complexity and development, with the support and care of Bu Khaled, and they have succeeded in having a noticeable presence not only in providing the needs of the armed forces, but in In global markets with its high technical level, manufacturing efficiency and high capabilities.
