Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, has approved a Dh65 billion budget for 142 new capital projects in Abu Dhabi.

Sheikh Khaled, who is also the chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, approved the budget during the council's meeting on Friday.
Also announced at Executive Council meeting were plans to develop a sustainable cultural heritage ecosystem in the emirate that will build on current exhibitions, festivals and heritage programmes that preserve Emirati culture among people of all ages.
