Al Gergawi said it is the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to develop human capabilities based on the great values of the past and making them essential elements in the comprehensive sustainable development of the future.
“It is important to preserve heritage sites as they serve as a source of inspiration for innovators and pioneers to build the future,” Al Gergawi said.
Stating that archaeological sites are not just stone structures, Al Gergawi described the heritage landmarks in the region as crucial pieces in the great legacy of human achievements and called for global efforts to protect them.
