H.E. Dr. Ahmed Abdullah bin Saeed Al Matrooshi, UAE Ambassador to Romania, attended the conference organised by Special Olympics International, context in which there has been announced that Special Olympics "Unified Champion Schools" programme - which was the recipient of an exceptionally generous gift from His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces, who donated $25 million to promote and implement Unified Champion Schools (UCS) across the globe – has also expanded across Romania.

The attendance of H.E.
