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

After concluding my Balkan visit, 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 from the Agreement I had the praise to sign with the Emirates, which, I recall, includes a defense assistance clause. The particular 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 will also host COP28 for 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.
