UAE President and British PM discuss bilateral relations

UK and UAE agree to increase cooperation

UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan spoke by telephone to Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The two leaders reviewed the historical relationship between the United Arab Emirates and the UK and discussed ways to further drive progress under the “Partnership for the Future”, established in September 2021.

Both sides also discussed collaboration opportunities that advance both nations’ sustainable development ambitions.

Sheikh Mohamed and Rishi Sunak also exchanged views on a number of regional and international issues of mutual interest and reaffirmed their shared interest in supporting all efforts to achieve peace and stability both regionally and globally.

In May of this year, the UK and UAE hailed their “growing partnership” after strategic talks between their foreign ministers in London. The two governments said the inaugural UK-UAE strategic dialogue was “an important moment in the bilateral relationship”.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, was hosted in London by British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly. A joint statement at the time said they agreed on the need for co-operation to tackle global challenges, including climate change.
