What does a nation's flag signify?

ABU DHABI -- H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, Executive Council Member, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Retirement Pensions and Benefits Fund for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, has said that UAE Flag Day is a day when national spirit is renewed and one to reflect on the achievements of the era of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

In a speech given on the occasion of Flag Day, which will be marked tomorrow, November 3rd, H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa said that President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa, along with Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and Their Highnesses the Supreme Council Members and Rulers of the Emirates, completed the march of the union, resulting in the UAE reaching the highest echelons and competing with nations built centuries ago.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa said that raising the UAE Flag this year will especially resonate with feelings of pride as it was used to wrap the bodies of the young martyrs who gave up their lives in order to maintain the security, stability and cohesion of countries in the region.
