His Excellency Ghanem Mubarak Al Hajeri said, “In the Olympic Village, athletes from all around the world
come together to connect, compete and learn from one another, as well as share experiences and culture.

Similarly, in the UAE, over 200 nationalities coexist in harmony and peace, exchanging cultures and
contributing to the growth of society. The UAE Olympic House serves as a platform for celebrating and
emphasizing the values of inclusivity and humanity, which are fundamental to the Emirati identity during the

UAE’s participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics.”

His Excellency praised the bilateral relations between the UAE and France, describing them as “exceptional,”
considering them strong and multi-faceted in cooperation and long-standing, saying, “I am pleased with the
participation of the UAE Ministry of Interior with security ambassadors from the police support team in
securing this global event according to security protocols and enhancing UAE-French cooperation to ensure

safe and successful Olympic Games for athletes, participating delegations, and visitors from all over the
world.”

His Excellency Ghanem Al Hajeri confirmed, “Beyond just opportunities to participate and compete, the
Olympic Games is a platform that allows us to share and exchange cultures and values with people

throughout the world. Since the UAE applied for membership in the International Olympic Committee in 1979,
which was immediately accepted, and our first participation in the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984, the state
has confirmed through the UAE National Olympic Committee its commitment to respecting the Olympic

Charter and appreciating the Olympic movement, reflecting the keen interest of our wise leadership in sports
and placing it among national priorities.”
