UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed concluded his state visit to Paris on Tuesday, thanking President Emmanuel Macron as they issued a joint statement calling for action on pressing global issues.
The head of state departed Orly airport on Tuesday afternoon after an engagement at the Arc de Triomphe and meetings with French leaders. A series of talks and the signing of deals brought to an end a successful inaugural state visit that made headlines at home and abroad.
In energy, Adnoc and Total Energies signed an agreement to explore opportunities in gas growth, carbon capture and storage, among other areas. In space and climate change, there were agreements to work together on breakthroughs in both areas, particularly ahead of Cop 27 in Egypt in November and Cop 28 in Abu Dhabi in late 2023.
On the final day of his state visit, Sheikh Mohamed toured several Paris landmarks, poignantly laying a wreath at the Arc de Triomphe's tomb for an Unknown Soldier. At Matignon, the Prime Minister's residence, Sheikh Mohamed met PM Elisabeth Borne to discuss food security, investment and the economy, among other areas.
In their closing joint statement, Sheikh Mohamed and Mr Macron called for action to tackle crises that affect global stability.
