The UAE is about to witness a historic event tomorrow! In a powerful initiative to mark the 54th Eid Al Etihad celebrations, His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, made an official call to everyone. Taking to X on Monday, he announced the launch of a new national initiative called ‘Voices of Unity’.
The initiative invites everyone living in the UAE to sing the National Anthem, 'Ishy Bilady', together on 2 December at 11am. His Highness Sheikh Abdullah shared on his official X account, writing: “On December 2nd, at 11 AM… We sing the national anthem united,” along with the campaign’s hashtags.
The initiative aims to bring people across all seven emirates together, as a symbol of unity and belonging. Everyone is encouraged to step outside their homes, workplaces, schools, and shops and join the Anthem that echoes the UAE's spirit of togetherness. Those living in the UAE also received SMS notifications on Monday, urging them to participate in the initiative.
To enable everyone to be a part of the initiative, the Anthem has been transliterated phonetically in Arabic and English. The gesture highlights the UAE's belief in togetherness.
