A standout moment of Module 1 was the keynote delivered by H.E. Zaki Nusseibeh, Cultural Advisor to His Highness the President of the UAE and Chancellor of the United Arab Emirates University. As personal interpreter and advisor to the Late Sheikh Zayed, Nusseibeh reflected on the values exemplified by the UAE’s founding father and his visionary leadership.

During his address, Nusseibeh highlighted the Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s enduring commitment to unity and cultural preservation. He spoke about his role in fostering a collective national identity, drawing upon lessons from history and heritage to guide the UAE toward a prosperous and sustainable future.

Nusseibeh’s reflections underscored the timeless relevance of Sheikh Zayed’s values, particularly his ability to inspire trust and collaboration across diverse communities. His remarks served as a poignant reminder of the principles that continue to shape the UAE’s development and the vital role of cultural awareness in effective leadership.
