The country's fifth flag day will be celebrated across the country on Thursday.
Though Flag Day is usually held on November 3, the Government called on all ministries, federal bodies and their affiliates to raise the UAE flag at 11am on Thursday as a show of unity, patriotism and loyalty to the Emirates and its leadership.
