To mark the occasion of Kuwait National Day and Liberation Day on Tuesday, the UAE's rulers sent their warm congratulations to the Gulf nation and its emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad. Among the many sending messages to the Kuwaitis as they celebrate their national holiday was Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, who said, "to our family and brothers in the loving Kuwait, we greatly congratulate you on your glorious National Day." Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, sent a message saying, "we share the joy of the people of Kuwait, the country of splendor and glory. May God perpetuate its security, stability and prosperity." In addition, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, sent his own wishes to Kuwait, saying "may your celebrations last in splendour, goodness, prosperity and security." Dubai is hosting several events in celebration of Kuwait National Day, including celebratory fireworks at Dubai Festival City Mall and musical performances by traditional bands at several malls across the city. There will also be special offers available for Kuwaiti nationals, including free entry to all of Dubai's public parks and various shopping discounts. Kuwait’s flag will shine upon Dubai’s landmarks, with the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Frame illuminating the colours of Kuwait to mark the occasion. February 25 marks several milestones in Kuwait's history, including the first broadcast of the national anthem, the first English news broadcast by Kuwait News Agency and two gold medal wins by local athletes. To celebrate Kuwait's 59th independence day celebrations, Google created a <a href="https://www.google.com/doodles/kuwait-national-day-2020">Doodle</a> to recognise the day when Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad became emir of Kuwait in 1950.
