In keeping with the spirit of the “Year of Giving”, the United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan has gifted to the people of Kerala a personally selected assortment of high-quality dates.
The dates – both the national fruit of the UAE and an integral symbol of Emirati heritage and identity – were presented by UAE Consul General in Thiruvananthapuram Jamal Husein Rahma Al Zaabi to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan at his office here last evening.
The dates were distributed to a group of 30 differently-abled children and orphans at the function.
In December, 2016, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, had declared 2017 as the ‘Year of Giving’.
