Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu visited the UAE on Sunday to offer condolences on behalf of the government to the UAE leadership on the demise of Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed al-Nahyan, former President of the UAE and ruler of Abu Dhabi.

The Vice-President, on landing in Abu Dhabi at noon, went straight to Mushrif Palace and offered his condolences to Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the newly elected President of the UAE. He conveyed the condolences of President Ram Nath Kovind and PM Narendra Modi and reiterated that India and its people stand by the UAE at this difficult time.

Earlier, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited the UAE Embassy here on Saturday to convey India’s condolences.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
