Iranian VP Felicitates UAE National Day

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri, in two separate messages to senior officials of United Arab Emirates congratulated the Persian Gulf country’s National Day.

In a message to Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Jahangiri expressed the hope that the growing trend of ties between Islamic Republic of Iran and UAE would continue through mutual cooperation. 

In a separate message sent to the country’s deputy supreme commander and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, he wished success and prosperity for the UAE’s nation and government.

National Day is celebrated on December 2 each year in the United Arab Emirates.

It marks the UAE's formal nationalization from the British Protectorate Treaties which ended on December 1, 1971 and the eventual, federal unification of the seven emirates in 1971 which combined to form the modern-day country, headed by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the federation's first president. Grand celebrations are held across the country to mark the event.
