He had earlier held his first e-session in which the general public – citizens and residents could submit questions for him to answer.

In April, Sheikh Mohammed addressed the questions from the media in an unprecedented internet forum with journalists.

According to The National, Sheikh Mohammed has written on his Facebook page: “One’s experiences and personal history shape who they are. And by sharing the lessons I have learnt during my lifetime I hope I can continue to have a positive effect on others, especially young people.”

A versatile personality, the various sections on Sheikh Mohammed’s page on the social networking site reveals the ruler’s beliefs, interests, photos, respect for other religions and even his reading list, the Abu Dhabi-based daily noted.
