New Delhi, May 14

Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was appointed President of the United Arab Emirates by the country’s seven sheikhdoms which met on Saturday.

Known as MbZ, the 61-year-old is credited with several foreign policy interventions that made the UAE a key regional player. He was also instrumental in forging a closer UAE-India relationship that led to a free trade agreement recently.

Earlier, MbZ was sympathetic to India’s concerns about the UAE becoming

the hub of money laundering and extradited several criminals wanted

by India.

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).
