In the United Arab Emirates, after a long illness, the second president of the United Arab Emirates, Emir of Abu Dhabi Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, died. It is reported by TASS.

The Ministry of Presidential Affairs extends its condolences to the people of the UAE, the Arab and Islamic nation and the world on the passing of His Highness the President of the UAE, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zeid Al Nahyan, the ministry said.

According to media reports, in 2014 he suffered a stroke, after which he recovered for a long time. He began to appear less frequently in public, so his brother, Prince of the Capital Emirate of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Zayed An-Nahyan, became the ruler of the United Arab Emirates.
