H.E. Nickolay Mladenov, Director General of the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy: Tolerance Values are Deeply Embedded in the UAE’s Vision for Global Peace and Collaborative Diplomacy

Abu Dhabi, UAE, 16 Nov 2024: “The International Day for Tolerance stands as a reminder of the critical role that diplomacy plays in fostering peace, understanding, and mutual respect on a global scale. For the UAE, these values are not just aspirations—they are deeply embedded in our nation’s diplomatic DNA and guide our efforts to bridge divides and create a harmonious world where diversity is embraced as a strength.

The UAE stands as a leading model of tolerance, hosting over 200 nationalities from a wide array of ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. This diversity is a living example of the nation’s commitment to coexistence and understanding. At the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy, we are committed to instilling these values in the next generation of leaders and diplomats, preparing them to promote the UAE’s efforts of fostering dialogue and resolving conflicts through diplomatic means. On this day, we renew our profound commitment to these values and aspire to a future where efforts unite to build a world marked by greater peace, justice, and sustainability.”
