"The 'Flamenco Night was a magnificent evening of Andalusian art and singing, uniting
some of the most prominent cultures and civilisations. We believe in the significance of

the Andalusian heritage as an inspiring model for coexistence and collaboration and a
means of consolidating the foundations for peace among people. The initiative also

underscored the country's dedication to fostering cultural exchange and communication
among individuals from various cultures, thereby helping to strengthen the historical and
cultural connections between the UAE and Spain," said Mohammed Al-Murr, Chairman

of the Andalusia: History and Civilisation Initiative Committee.

The Flamenco Night is part of the Art and Music programmes of Andalusia initiative
launched by the UAE. The project sought to highlight Andalusia's Arab civilisation, while

highlighting the values of coexistence and tolerance that came to the forefront in that
particular historic setting.

In addition to encouraging deeper ties and drawing attention to the shared connections
between the UAE and Spain, the event aimed to honour Andalusia's rich cultural,

artistic, and civilisational legacy.

By showcasing the unique Andalusian civilisation model as a prime illustration of
intercultural coexistence and tolerance, the initiative served as a cultural bridge
connecting the UAE and Spain.
