The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has held an Iftar for hundreds of labourers in Dubai.
The Minister, Dr Abdulrahman Al Awar, and other senior officials joined the group iftar at Al Rashid Mosque in Al Khanaweej.
It was held in collaboration with Beit Al Khair Society.
Dr. Al Awar said, “It’s our duty to be close to labourers, listen to them, and benefit from their experiences in the labour market. The Holy Month of Ramadan is an ideal opportunity to do that.
"Our labourers deserve our appreciation and respect for their indispensable contribution to the development of the UAE.”
The Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation commended the efforts of the organisers, and their keenness to serve labourers during the holy month in line with Emirati values and the spirit of giving.
