Gen. Nasser Lakhrebani Al Nuaimi, secretary general of the Office of HH Deputy Prime Minister and minister of interior.

A highlight of the fair was a book signing by His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Saif, who authored “The ABCs of Child Legal Education.”

Al Nuaimi signed a set of new books with the top three winners in the Minister of Interior’s Scientific Research Award. He also offered copies of the police encyclopedia prepared by the Security Media Department at the Abu Dhabi Police to the Zayed Higher Organization for Humanitarian Care and Special Needs.
