HE Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of RTA, hoisted the state flag on RTA Head Office in the attendance of CEOs, Directors and scores of RTA employees. Al Tayer expressed his pride on this day as it replicates the coherence of Emiratis and depicts the spirit of loyalty to our leaders and nation.
