ABU DHABI: Regional news channels have reported the appointment of the President’s eldest son, Sheikh Khaled, as the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE.
Sheikh Mohammed Zayed Al Nahyan also named his brothers Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as Vice President of the UAE, deputy rulers of Abu Dhabi, and national security adviser, respectively.
Sheikh Mohammed, also known as MBZ, has been the ruler of Abu Dhabi and President of the UAE since May 2021, following the death of his half-brother Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed.
A couple of weeks ago, Abu Dhabi, which controls several sovereign wealth funds, had announced a reshuffle at the top of its two biggest state funds, following which Sheikh Tahnoun was named chair of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), and Sheikh Mansour as the chairman of Mubadala, Abu Dhabi’s second-biggest sovereign wealth fund.
