00:00Whose legacy is a universal force, deeply imprinted in the moral consciousness of humankind.
00:23I am pleased and honored to join all of you in this unveiling of the bust of this remarkable
00:33man and to honor his vision and achievements.
00:39We in the UAE are proud to call India our close friend.
00:52A friend with whom we have enjoyed a long, prosperous, friendly, and mutually productive
01:02relationship.
01:05I am pleased to be a part of today's celebration for our participation together, embodies one
01:15of the core values of both India and the United Arab Emirates.
01:23To have fathers of the nation whose vision reverberates in their ethos and the way we
01:29are as civil societies.
01:33The impact of Sheikh Zayed and Mahatma Gandhi go well beyond their lifetimes.
01:38As we grow as nations and societies, we feel their presence all around us.
01:44And it is for a reason that the only person on Indian currency notes is Mahatma Gandhi.
01:51Because that's what Mahatma Gandhi means to all of us.
01:55And I can say the same about Sheikh Zayed, whose country we are all living in.
02:00And 3.5 million Indians here can feel that.
02:07His message of non-violence, peace and harmony was perhaps as very important of course during
02:16his lifetime, but is perhaps even more important today.
02:21And I think on that score at a global level, both India and the UAE have been working on that.
