The Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Colombia developed an initiative of support and solidarity for Colombians in the wake of the crisis that was generated by covid-19.
For this, the diplomatic corps and the officials of the Diplomatic Mission made a donation, which comes from their salary payments, to buy food baskets that integrate basic necessities and benefit approximately 2,000 vulnerable citizens.
Ambassador Salem Rashed Alowais noted that “This donation aims to consolidate cooperation and collaboration between the two peoples in order to overcome this global crisis.”
In the same way, he expressed the generosity of the United Arab Emirates “that does not hesitate to extend a hand to friendly peoples at any time and in any place without distinction of color, race or religion” and stressed that we are united by the principles of humanity and brotherhood.
With the money raised, basic food items were purchased for vulnerable families
