Sisi greets UAE on Union Pledge Day

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Saturday 19/7/2025 sent a cable of greetings to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on the Gulf country's Union Pledge Day. The UAE marks the first anniversary of the 'Union Pledge Day' on 18th July, as the nation reflects on the pivotal moments that led to its unification, recalling the enduring legacy of the founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and his brothers, the Rulers, whose historic declaration in 1971 laid the foundations for the federation. The day is one of the most important days in the history of the UAE, as the declaration of the Union and the UAE Constitution were signed, and its name was announced, with the solid foundation for its establishment laid on 2nd December. Union Pledge Day was designated as a national occasion by President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to reaffirm loyalty to the homeland and celebrate the country's continued development. The day aims to strengthen national identity and raise public awareness of the foundational steps that propelled the UAE to its current status as a regional and global leader.

It included the installation of granite and marble flooring, a central fountain, landscaping, parking facilities, visitor seating, and aesthetic protective fencing.
