To every mother who assumes the responsibility of a house and a family. Through you, I extend my greetings to all mothers in UAE who have always been up to the responsibility, partners in raising generations and effectively contributing to building the State”, Al Shamsi added.

In the light of this occasion, ICA honored a number of the mother employees from different departments and organizational units all over the State, together with a number of mother customers.
