Man of peace.. Mohammed ben Zayed receives the Statesman Award from the Washington Institute

Sheikh Mohammed ben Zayed al-Nahyane, Crown Prince of Abou Dabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, received the Global Scholar of Statesman award from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, which described Sheikh Mohammed ben Zayed as a bold and visionary figure.

In a speech on this occasion, the Executive Director of the Institute, Robert Satloff, expressed that the prize of the scholar statesman is given to leaders and public figures whose achievements are based on ideals, who enjoy political acumen, and are able to transfer their peoples and countries to the position they deserve, and those who have a deep understanding of the world around them, and you certainly deserve this prize, Sir.

Accrued award:

Satloff praised the Crown Prince’s decision to make peace with Israel through the Abraham Accords and applauded the flourishing of religious diversity within the UAE, noting that the Crown Prince of Abou Dabi’s pioneering leadership made peace agreements between Israel and the Arab states possible and raised the level of peace from diplomatic to full peace to include politics, the economy, culture, and people-to-people relations.

He added: Your courageous decision paved the way for peace agreements from the ocean to the gulf… Moreover, your commitment to tolerance and to opening the UAE to all Abrahamic religions, and there is no greater evidence than the churches, temples, and religious institutions in the country.

He continued: it was gleeful to see the House of the Abrahamic Family, yesterday, which consists of three wonderful buildings of equal size, a church, a synagogue, and a mosque. This is tolerance, which has extended to religious and community institutions, and has reflected on the values of coexistence among everyone in this country, noting that this is the model that we hope all countries in the region will follow.

The Executive Director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy stated: It is for these reasons that the Washington Institute for Near East Policy is pleased to honor the award of the Institute’s Statesman Medal.

The courage, firmness, wisdom and justice that Sheikh Mohammed ben Zayed Al Nahyane enjoys enabled him to expose the plots of terrorist groups and the countries that support and sponsor them in Arab countries by launching global initiatives to combat and contain the phenomenon of violence and religious extremism, and by contributing strongly to the formation of the Islamic military alliance in the fight against terrorism.

Sheikh Mohammed ben Zayed Al Nahyane’s views, his determination to support the national march with courageous decisions and mega-projects, and the UAE’s successes confirm that the Arab world is not the distorted image extremists seek to export abroad.
