The Kanoo Group Celebrates the UAE's 52nd National Day

 

"52 years. Do not take this for granted. Every year, let it be a year filled with gratitude for every day. Please realize that we are very lucky to be in a place that provides and protects us. What the UAE government does to the outside world resonates with the founding father Baba Zayed's advocacy to always help those in need. Help others. We are extremely lucky that this country cares for us and gives us an opportunity. We are in a place where we can create opportunities for others as well—an opportunity for our families and an opportunity for our children. Remember, whenever you work, do not work for this company; work for your family, work for your children, to give them better opportunities."
-Mishal Kanoo-

The entire office was adorned with miniature flags and decorations symbolizing the colors of the UAE flag (red, white, and green) to mark the celebration.

Also in attendance was Maha Kanoo, Director of The Kanoo Group, who emphasized the significance of unity, stating, "Unity has been the hallmark of the UAE's journey, and as it goes in pursuit of success towards the next few years, I firmly believe that collaboration and unification will persist in serving as the nation's guiding principle. We are committed to fostering unity within the Group to imbibe the nation's bid for a tolerant society."

In the Abu Dhabi office, the celebration was led by Mohamed Abdul Latif Kanoo, Deputy Chairman of The Kanoo Group, along with Abdullatif Kanoo.
