00:00I wish that Allah will always protect our country and make it safe, as well as bless
00:20our Sheikh, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum
00:25with long, happy and prosperous lives, because if it was not for them, we wouldn't have
00:29reached the place we are in today, by obtaining one of the strongest and most rapid civilizations
00:35ever.
00:36UAE has some brilliant heritage spaces.
00:38I love the fact that there are areas like Berdouba and Dera and Satwa and Karama.
00:43That's where the heart and soul is.
00:44So if I had any wish, it would be that these areas remain or that their soul and their
00:50essence isn't taken down.
00:52If I could see more heritage areas, more community spaces, more parks, I'd love that.
00:59The UAE is investing so much and growing so many different sectors, but I really hope
01:04they continue to promote the arts, because we've seen an emerging arts scene here, whether
01:09it's music, writing, painting.
01:12It's really growing and I hope that over the next few decades, this continues to grow and
01:17people are allowed to tell their stories, not just Emiratis, but people from all around
01:21the Arab world, people from all around the world.
01:24If the UAE can become the place to go to tell your story, then for me, that's a great thing.
01:29The UAE has set a really great precedent for the value of tolerance and acknowledging
01:36and accepting difference.
01:39And from a Western perspective, I think people often think of the region, the Middle East,
01:44as somewhere that's full of conflict and unrest.
01:48And I think if that example of tolerance was taken elsewhere, not just in the region actually,
01:54but in the rest of the world as well, and made a success of, I think that would be a
01:59really great thing.
02:00To stay in peace, to stay safe, to always gather so much loving energy, because it's
02:07when you have so much love for the place that it prospers, and that's exactly what's happening.
