I write to you in reference to Fatima Al Fahim's opinion piece UAE Flag Day: celebrating a national symbol that is more than just cloth and colour (November 2).
This article published on the eve of UAE’s Flag Day was truly a moving read. The holiday was established six years ago, on the anniversary of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed’s accession day.
Since then, the country has erupted in a riot of colour every Flag Day on November 3. What a great occasion it is for the UAE.

Jeremy Corbyn is not as bad a leader as most Tories
I write to you in reference to Damien McElroy's piece What would Britain look like under Jeremy Corbyn and his '70s sidekick John McDonnell? (November 2).
The last nine years of Tory rule have been chaotic to say the least. Could things really get any worse?

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid has shared some wise words on China
I write to you in reference to video footage posted on your Facebook page with the caption: "Based on what I have seen, China has made a great and swift development …" Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid talks to CCTV.
India must learn from China. The nation has managed to turn its large population into one of its main strengths.

Saudi Aramco IPO will allow the Kingdom to invest in non-oil sector
I write to you in reference to Jennifer Gnana's article 9 things you need to know about the Saudi Aramco IPO (November 3).
The ramifications of this IPO go beyond oil. The proceeds from the sale of Aramco shares will go into the Public Investment Fund and will be used to invest in non-oil sectors.
