On June 16 last week, the AED 1 billion project, Mohammed bin Rashid Library, was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum toured the library and said: "Today we launch a cultural and intellectual edifice for our new generations, through which we aim to promote reading, spread knowledge, and support researchers and scientists. Our goal is to illuminate the human mind. “For me, when a day passes”, he added, “without learning something new, I consider it a wasted day in my life."
In a video posted on His Highness’s official Instagram account, we can hear His Highness speaking: “Economy needs knowledge… Politics needs wisdom… Nations need to learn… All of that can be found in books,” highlighting the importance of reading, adding, "Reading is nourishment for the soul and mind."
His Highness also addressed the children, saying: "History," he says, "teaches us that civilizations rise and nations prosper through knowledge. Knowledge is endless and it never stops.”
