Репост из: Russian MFA 🇷🇺
🇷🇺🇦🇪 President Vladimir Putin held talks with President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi.
💬 Vladimir Putin: First of all, I would like to thank you for inviting us and for this colourful and friendly welcome.
Today, our relations – thanks to the position you have taken – have reached unprecedented heights. You and I are in constant contact, and our colleagues work together on a permanent basis.
The United Arab Emirates is Russia’s main trade partner in the Arab world.
✅ Last year, trade grew by 67.7 percent. This year, I think, the figures will be even higher. The same goes for investment activity.
✅ There is also progress in industrial cooperation. A number of major oil and gas projects are being implemented.
✅ Tourist exchanges are making headway.
🌐 We also cooperate internationally. As a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, the United Arab Emirates makes a huge contribution to stabilising the situation in the world.
I am quite pleased that the United Arab Emirates is beginning to work within #BRICS. In 2024, Russia will chair this organisation. We will continue contacts on this. We look forward to meeting you at the [BRICS] Summit in Kazan in October 2024.
