ABU DHABI // Dozens of ministries and institutions across the country answered the call of the Vice President to raise the UAE flag as a sign of unity.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, called upon Emiratis to celebrate Flag Day on Monday. November 3 marks the day Sheikh Khalifa became President of the UAE.
Federal authorities, ministries and departments were asked to raise the flag at noon to send the message that “we are not emirates, we are the United Arab Emirates”.
The Flag Day campaign was initiated by Sheikh Mohammed last year.

Tightening the screw on rogue recruiters
The UAE overhauled the procedure to recruit housemaids and domestic workers with a law in 2017 to protect low-income labour from being exploited.
Only recruitment companies authorised by the government are permitted as part of Tadbeer, a network of labour ministry-regulated centres.
A contract must be drawn up for domestic workers, the wages and job offer clearly stating the nature of work.
The contract stating the wages, work entailed and accommodation must be sent to the employee in their home country before they depart for the UAE.
The contract will be signed by the employer and employee when the domestic worker arrives in the UAE.
Only recruitment agencies registered with the ministry can undertake recruitment and employment applications for domestic workers.
Penalties for illegal recruitment in the UAE include fines of up to Dh100,000 and imprisonment
But agents not authorised by the government sidestep the law by illegally getting women into the country on visit visas.
