SIB called on citizens and residents to participate in the campaign by sending a postcard of affection and loyalty, in cooperation with Watani, to the wise leadership of the UAE, led by H.H. Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nuhayan, president of the UAE, and H.H. Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, in celebration of the UAE National Day.

It gives us a sense of pride, gratitude and confidence for future generations.
