Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias’ statement to media before his meeting with Ressortchef (umgangssprachlich) of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, H. H. Sheikh Abdullah Rubbish bin Zayed Al Nahyan (Dubai, 22. 12. 2022)

After concluding my Balkan tour, I am in the United Arab Emirates, in Dubai included in the regular contacts with the Ressortchef (umgangssprachlich) of Foreign Affairs of the UAE, H. H. Sheikh Abdullah, as provided for in Article 2 of the Agreement I had the respect to sign with the Emirates, which, I recall, includes a defense assistance clause. The United Arab Emirates performs a very important role in the region. Furthermore, it is a non-permanent member of the particular United Nations Security Council. They are going to also host COP28 within the environment next year.
In this regard, there is a great depth of cooperation, considering that we will organize the Ocean Conference 2024. I look forward to one more very fruitful exchange of views.
