Al Jasmi, who is a UN Goodwill Ambassador, described his participation in the event as a tribute to the values of tolerance and moderation, instilled by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
He stressed that the UAE leadership is promoting the values of tolerance so that the country becomes a global capital in which the civilizations of East and West will converge to consolidate peace and rapprochement among all peoples.
Al Jasmi will participate in the concert with the Grand Orchestra, under the direction of Maestro Renato Serio. The concert will be recorded on the night of Christmas through the 5th Italian Channel and through several channels around the world.
