March 23, 2019



A handout image obtained from Dubai's Public Diplomacy Office on Saturday shows the Gulf emirate's Burj Khalifa tower lit the previous night with an image of New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in appreciation of her solidarity position with her country's Muslim community following the March 15 massacre of 50 worshipers in a mosque in Christchurch by an Australian white supremacist. Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum praised Ardern's "support to the Muslim community". "Thank you PM @jacindaardern and New Zealand for your sincere empathy and support that has won the respect of 1.5 billion Muslims after the terrorist attack that shook the Muslim community around the world," he wrote on Twitter. — AFP
