00:32to empower innovation through multilateral collaboration amongst its international diverse
00:38base of students, which is commendable, and I wish all of them grow in wisdom and stature
00:47and in favor with God and man.

00:53I have to revert my thanks to our leadership and the government to give us this opportunity
00:58to be able to sit together and discuss our future events.
01:02I have to thank the ambassador, Mr. Elan, ambassador of Israel in Dubai, as well as
01:08Mr. Merzi, the head of IFIICC, and my father, to give us encouragement and motivation to
01:16continue under this path.
01:17I take it under myself and my brother, Dimitri Asselin, for us to pave the pathway to peace,
01:25prosperity, and tolerance in the world by sharing our values in the United Arab Emirates
01:31as well as Israel.
01:32I hope my son will represent an Emirati's feeling and viewing to spread peace around
01:41the world.
01:42We hope all the best for all the Israelis and for my son and all Emiratis, and I hope
01:49will be a good example for other nations to take the same step.
01:53I want to congratulate Mansour for being accepted to the IDC and to going to Israel.
02:00He's going to do history now, and I hope this is not going to be the first only, but one
02:06of many students of the Emiratis to come into Israel, and many students of Israel coming
02:12to the Emiratis.
