The event was held as a mark of tribute to the UAE’s Year of Community’ 2025, announced by UAE
President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to encourage active contributions to society
through community service, volunteering, and impactful initiatives.

The UAE minister participated in the run here at the special invitation of Dr Shamsheer Vayalil, a
renowned global healthcare entrepreneur and mentor of the event.

The UAE’s 2025 theme, the ‘Year of Community’, aims to promote a culture of shared responsibility
and drive collective progress, the release said.

Dr Vayalil, chairman and managing director of VPS Healthcare, and over 100 participants from
various fields took part in the run.

The UAE and India share deep-rooted economic, cultural, and community-driven ties. With nearly
one million Keralites calling the UAE their second home, the ‘Year of Community Run’ also served
as a platform to raise awareness about community service initiatives among expatriates, reinforcing
the spirit of unity and shared responsibility, Dr Vayalil said in the release.
