The world has lost a wise leader who dedicated his life to serving his country, and to developmental efforts and humanitarian work, the director-general of the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi said, while sharing his thoughts on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed.

Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the second President of the United Arab Emirates and 16th ruler of Abu Dhabi, died at age 73 on Friday, May 13.

During his reign as the President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa continued the renaissance started by the late Sheikh Zayed to make the UAE a pioneering model for sustainable developments locally and globally, Al Suwaidi said in an interview with state-run news agency, Wam.
