Honours for Al Kaabi and Al Ketbi at Abu Dhabi Awards




 
Nations and societies rise when they uphold the culture of work, appreciate giving and honour all those who contributed to building them and left an evident imprint on their progress. 

 
This not only repays those and recognises their leading role, but also motivates others to dedicate themselves to work in order to win this honour.
 
The UAE has achieved such success since the rule of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God rest his soul, who believed in the value of work, applauded good and devoted efforts, and rewarded those who performed their duties efficiently. Indeed, he established the culture of honouring and recognising goodness. This has been a key feature of distinction for the UAE and one of the factors of success of its pioneering development experience.
 
In this context, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, honoured retired Staff Lt. General Obaid Mohammed Al Kaabi and Staff Major General the late Mohammed Bakhit Al Ketbi with Abu Dhabi Awards in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the Abu Dhabi community and the development of the Emirate. The award embodies this culture, which underlies the growth and development witnessed by Abu Dhabi and the UAE at large in various domains.
 
The praise of the services contributed by these two honoured personalities confirms that Abu Dhabi and the UAE in general cannot forget those who contributed to its progress. It always returns the favour to everyone who left a clear imprint on the path of its progress. The country believes that these personalities represent the true role model in all national work sites, and therefore, they deserve this honour from the UAE leadership and its people.
 
The culture of recognition and appreciation of those distinguished in any country indicates that such country possesses the elements of excellence and leadership, because it motivates everyone to unleash their energies and creativity and moves them to participate in the development of society. The UAE and its wise leadership are keen on various occasions to appreciate, honour and celebrate those who have made contributions to community service in all fields. This is one of the distinctive features of the UAE. There are many initiatives that reinforce the culture of appreciation and recognition of work and giving in the UAE, such as the Abu Dhabi Award, which was launched for the first time in 2005, as the highest honour awarded to civilians. It seeks to honour the people who have shown high dedication and commitment to serving Abu Dhabi, so that their deeds should be a source of inspiration to the community.
 
The culture of work and recognition of excellence and giving is the key word behind the comprehensive progress being witnessed by the UAE in all fields. It also guarantees the preservation of the cultural gains that the UAE seeks to achieve in its development journey for the next 50 years. This culture regards excellence, competence and achievement as a standard for honouring and appreciation. Most importantly, it reinforces the model of coexistence that embraces all nationalities and makes them feel that they live in their own countries and enjoy the same rights.
