After concluding my Balkan tour, I am in the United Arab Emirates, in Dubai included in the regular contacts with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE, H. H. Sheikh Abdullah, as provided pertaining to in Article 2 of the Agreement I had the prize to sign with the Emirates, which, I recall, features a defense assistance clause. The particular United Arab Emirates plays a very important role in the region. Moreover, it is a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. They will also host COP28 over the environment next year.
In this regard, there is a great depth of cooperation, considering that we are going to organize the Ocean Meeting 2024. I look forward to an additional very fruitful exchange of views.
