It further supports national initiatives aimed at strengthening social cohesion.
Representatives from the tolerance committees of both organizations attended the exhibition where they reviewed selected photographs illustrating the UAE’s rich history of initiatives that promote coexistence and reinforce the principles of human fraternity, solidifying the the UAE’s status as an international hub for tolerance.
At the conclusion of the event, the Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority honored the members of the NLA’s Tolerance Committee in recognition of their collaborative efforts.
