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

Right 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 regarding in Article 2 of the Agreement I had the recognition to sign with the Emirates, which, I recall, features a defense assistance clause. The particular 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 at the environment next year.
In this regard, there is a great level of cooperation, considering that we are going to organize the Ocean Meeting 2024. I look forward to another very fruitful exchange of views.
