I write to you in reference to Shireena Al Nowais’s article Tributes paid as long-serving adviser to Sheikh Zayed dies (September 24).
This is a truly touching article on the departure of Abdullah Al Hashemi, the 89-year-old former adviser of Sheikh Zayed, the UAE’s Founding Father.
Mr Al Hashemi helped to make Abu Dhabi the oil-rich city it has become today thanks in large part to his sincere guidance to the former president, who himself departed in 2004.
He was a man with a long-term vision for the country and incredible foresight. His departure is a great loss to the UAE. May his soul rest in peace.
