Prof. Awad Al Khalaf, Chancellor of Al Qasimia University (AQU), affirmed that UAE Flag Day represents a shining national occasion that renews the feelings of belonging, pride, and love towards the United Arab Emirates and its wise leadership. He pointed out that raising the flag simultaneously across the nation embodies the highest meanings of cohesion and national unity among citizens and residents alike.
The chancellor explained that this cherished occasion is not merely a symbolic celebration but a sincere expression of love for the homeland and pride in its achievements.
It reflects the unity of purpose shared by the people of the UAE under the Union — the symbol of strength, sovereignty, and dignity.
Prof. AlKhalaf added that Flag Day brings to mind the memory of the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may Allah rest his soul in peace, and his fellow founding fathers, who first raised this flag to proclaim the birth of the union, proving to the world that sincere will and steadfast determination are what build nations and shape their glory.
He praised the occasion as a renewed motivation to give and work with sincerity for the nation's progress and prosperity. He emphasized that AQU — with its students and faculty members — takes pride in participating in this national day as an expression of love for the UAE and its wise leadership, which has made the flag a symbol that unites everyone in love and solidarity.
