culture I hold in high esteem and playing alongside talented artists from the Arab

introduce Flamenco and flamenco guitar to this unique audience. I am sincerely
grateful for this chance."

For his part, Sadiq Jafar said, "I am delighted to participate in this event dedicated
to commemorating the rich heritage of an ancient civilisation that has left a
lasting impact on various aspects of life, particularly in the realm of the arts.
Joining the 'Andalusian Nights: Guitar and Arabic Music' event will allow me to
share my perspective on Andalusian heritage. This event will serve as a medium
to illustrate the profound influence of Arab culture on the artistic landscape of
Spain."

The art and music programme included various events such as art exhibitions,
musical performances, and workshops. These events highlighted Andalusia's rich
heritage, contributing to cultural dialogue and deepening mutual understanding

Andalusia, as well as its abundant progress and development in science,

literature, and philosophy. The initiative reflects the UAE's distinct approach and
commitment to preserving the values of tolerance, cooperation, and coexistence.
