UAE Foreign Minister, Sultan Bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, welcomed at the Cotroceni Palace
President Klaus Iohannis welcomed on Tuesday the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Foreign Minister, Sultan Bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, on which occasion the head of state underscored he greatly appreciates the positive dynamic of the relations between Romania and UAE, which are very good at the political level.
According to a press release of the Presidential Administration, Iohannis welcomed the carrying out of the Joint Co-operation Committee's first meeting, a concrete step towards the deepening of bilateral cooperation on all common interest levels, with an emphasis on the economic one.
The President voiced his confidence that the meeting will be followed by rapid and efficient measures to implement the matters established during the works.
The head of state highlighted that the efforts to boost commercial exchanges and investments remain a priority in the relation with the UAE, Romania's first economic partner in the Gulf region.
In that regard, the Presidential Administration shows that the bilateral Business Forum, due to take place on Tuesday, represents an impulse for capitalising on the potential of the two countries' economic relation.
The UAE Foreign Minister underscored that his visit, on which he is being accompanied by an ample delegation of public institutions and business milieu representatives in his country, was extremely fruitful and concrete projects of potential investments have been identified, with a focus on energy, transport, infrastructure, logistics, agriculture, tourism or real estate.
Moreover, the high official conveyed the desire and determination of the UAE leadership to open a new chapter in the relation with Romania, which he deems of strategic importance. Romania's President hailed this proposal and provided assurances that he will get involved in supporting this desideratum.
President Klaus Iohannis also thanked, on this opportunity, for the open way in which the UAE treats the Romanian community on its territory, which is well integrated and substantially contributes to the development of the UAE's society.
The UAE Minister is paying a visit to Romania within the first meeting of the Joint Co-operation Committee hosted between Romania's Government and the Government of the United Arab Emirates.
