Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, praised Egypt's loyal authentic leadership as he arrived in Cairo on Thursday to mark 50 years of ties.
“Egypt has been with us since the beginning of our state … Egypt was and will remain the bond, the treasure and the brother that we cannot do without,” he said in a tweet.
Sheikh Mohammed said Egypt was one of the first nations to express its support for the establishment of the UAE. It comes after Sheikh Mohammed shared a video of the UAE's history with Egypt and described the north African nation as having “one heart” with the Emirates.
He said the two countries now “celebrate the beginning of 50 new years, under the leadership of my brother President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and my brother Mohamed bin Zayed, President of the State, may God protect him. Egypt and the UAE are one heart.”
Sheikh Mohammed met Mr El Sisi at Al Ittihadiya Presidential Palace. During the meeting, Sheikh Mohammed extended an invitation for Egypt to be the guest of honor at the next World Government Summit in Dubai, in February.
On Thursday, the UAE welcomed an agreement between Egypt and the IMF for a $3 billion loan from the Washington-based lender.
The UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation affirmed its support for Egypt's efforts “to implement the necessary economic and structural reforms to ensure the preservation of strong, balanced and sustainable growth” to ensure its economic and financial stability and promote investment, growth and prosperity.
