Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, fulfilled the wish of a young Emirati by meeting him.
The Crown Prince of Dubai was on his way out of an event when this person of determination called from his wheelchair.
Sheikh Hamdan stopped short of getting into his car and waved at him.
A video shows Hamdan walking towards the young man in a wheelchair that is being rushed by his assistant towards the royal.
Hamdan gives him a warm hug and interacts with him for quite some time, occasionally sharing laughter.
The video of the embracing moment went viral on social media with netizens praising the Crown Prince of Dubai for humane values.
It is not the first time Hamdan has shown his social values.
In November, it was a special moment for a family residing in Dubai taking part in the Dubai Run 2021.
Sheikh Hamdan was leading the run when he came in contact with Rio and Tia from the Team Angel Wolf family.
The family in Dubai creates awareness of the importance of inclusion and to change attitudes to help integrate people of determination fully into society.
It is during the run that Sheikh Hamdan greeted the two children and decided to run while pushing Rio (person of determination) in his running chair for some of the distance.
