UAE Foreign Minister H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said that the UAE-Bahrain ties have deep-rooted historical relations established by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa.

While chairing the 11th session of the UAE-Bahrain Joint Higher Committee, Sheikh Abdullah welcomed Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Alzayani, who chaired the Bahraini side.

Addressing the participants, Sheikh Abdullah commended the continued joint efforts of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain, saying, “The UAE has always regarded Bahrain as a strategic partner and an integral part of the progress and prosperity in the Arabian Gulf and the entire region.”

“We have witnessed significant growth in our non-oil bilateral trade, reaching around $7 billion in 2022. We look forward to enhancing our bilateral relationship in various sectors, including trade, investment, education, culture, renewable energy, financial technology, tourism, and health. This includes working together within the Industrial Partnership for Sustainable Economic Development launched by the UAE with Bahrain, Jordan, and Egypt last year,” Sheikh Abdullah added.

Sheikh Abdullah emphasised the importance of elevating bilateral cooperation levels within international institutions, organisations, and multilateral initiatives.
