Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan

The Abu Dhabi Fund For Arab Economic Development

Thursday Jul 15, 1971

At the time the British withdrew from the Persian Gulf in 1971, Zayed oversaw the establishment of the Abu Dhabi Fund for Arab Economic Development; some of its oil riches were channeled to some forty less fortunate Islamic nations in Asia and Africa during the decades that followed.
