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

Right after concluding my Balkan trip, I am in the United Arab Emirates, in Dubai included in the regular contacts with the Ressortchef (umgangssprachlich) of Foreign Affairs from the UAE, H. H. Sheikh Abdullah, as provided for in Article 2 of the Agreement I had the honour to sign with the Emirates, which, I recall, includes a defense assistance clause. The United Arab Emirates plays a very important role in the region. In addition, it is a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. They are going to 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 associated with views.
