Since its establishment in 1971, the UAE has been committed to tolerance and peaceful coexistence. People from all over the world from different religious, creeds and cultural backgrounds have been welcomed to make the country their home. Its philosophy of nationhood has created a bridge that crosses conflicts and encourages engagement between the different cultures that seek peace, development, cooperation and growth.
Even before it became a nation, the land within the borders of the modern UAE represent a cultural heritage of tolerance dating back centuries that are based on the true understanding of Islamic principles. It has become recognized as a model for tolerant practices, peace and coexistence which is passed on from generation to generation.
Because of its experience and track record of coexistence - with 200 nationalities living harmoniously within its borders today - the UAE is well qualified to become a global capital of tolerance and human fraternity. A nation that is a launch pad for initiatives aimed at eradicating all evil, malicious and destructive powers from the world.
