About me / Bio:
Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan(1 December 1955 - 18 November 2019) was an Emirati politician and member of the Al Nahyan family who previously served as the 3rd Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. Zayed was born into the Nahyan family of Abu Dhabi. He was the youngest son of Sheikh Sultan ibn Zayed, who ruled Abu Dhabi from 1922 to 1926. He served as governor of Abu Dhabi’s Eastern Province from 1946 to 1966 during the reign of his eldest brother, Sheikh Shakhbout ibn Sultan (1928–66). In 1966, after Shakhbout proved both intransigent in developing Abu Dhabi and uninterested in participating in the Trucial States Council, Zayed gained support from the family to depose him. As Zayed took over as emir, he wasted little time in assuming financial leadership among the Trucial States. He cultivated relations with the northern states, which lacked the oil and financial resources enjoyed by Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and Abu Dhabi became responsible for about four-fifths of the Trucial States Development Fund. In 1968, after the United Kingdom announced that it would withdraw its military presence in the Persian Gulf region, he negotiated with Sheikh Rashid ibn Saeed of Dubai to create a framework for federation. Zayed was considered the principal architect of the federation and was selected as the first president of the United Arab Emirates upon its independence in 1971. As president, Zayed used Abu Dhabi’s wealth and prowess to address the practical issues of federation. In 1973 he effected reforms intended to integrate the country’s infrastructure, including issuing a common currency and undertaking development projects. He also reorganized the country’s federal structure, expanding the responsibilities of Abu Dhabi’s ministries to the federation as a whole by bringing them into his cabinet. A new wave of reforms began in 1976, including the integration of the emirates’ defense forces and increased budgetary contributions from member emirates. Zayed was reelected president of the federation every five years until his death in 2004. Throughout his tenure, he continued to tighten the structure of the federation, maintaining that its government would reflect the available bureaucratic talent rather than the interests of separate emirates. The United Arab Emirates became a leading financial centre under his rule and adopted measures to advance gender equality, especially in education. A noted diplomat, Zayed also maintained good relations abroad. His sons, most notably Khalifa and Mohamed, built on his legacy and extended Abu Dhabi’s leadership in both the federation and the Middle East.
