Reem Al Hashimy Participates in High-Level Meeting in Paris to Discuss Implementation of US Peace Plan

Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Cooperation, represented the United Arab Emirates at the high-level meeting convened by the French Republic to discuss the implementation of United States President Donald Trump’s peace plan.

The meeting, held in Paris on 9 October 2025 and hosted by His Excellency Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic, brought together the foreign ministers of Egypt, Germany, Italy, Jordan, the United Kingdom, Türkiye, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, alongside the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and representatives from Canada, Indonesia, and Pakistan.

In her remarks, Her Excellency Al Hashimy praised the decisive leadership demonstrated by President Trump and commended the tireless mediation efforts of Egypt, Türkiye, and Qatar. Her Excellency welcomed the breakthrough represented by the ceasefire and emphasized the importance of seizing this moment to ensure a durable peace.

Her Excellency called for sustained unity among regional and international partners in full support of President Trump’s plan to secure its long-term success – particularly by launching urgent initiatives for transition, stabilization, and reconstruction in Gaza.

Her Excellency Al Hashimy highlighted the UAE’s leading humanitarian role in Gaza, amounting to USD 1.8 billion in assistance since the start of the war. This support includes life-saving aid and medical assistance delivered through 8,000 trucks, hospital treatment for nearly 75,000 patients, and the operation of six desalination plants supplying two million gallons of clean water daily.

Furthermore H.E. Reem Al Hashimy affirmed that the UAE stands ready to scale up these efforts significantly in the coming period. This includes extending water pipelines and adding new tankers and distribution points; increasing bakeries to 50 and community kitchens to over 100, producing about 25,000 metric tons of food monthly; boosting medical aid with new supply deliveries, vaccination drives, and maternal care clinics; and, ahead of winter, deploying more tents, caravans, and shelters.

Earlier in the day, Her Excellency joined the Arab foreign ministers for a meeting with President Macron. H.E. also conducted bilateral meetings on the sidelines with the foreign ministers of Egypt, France, Italy, Jordan, Qatar, and the United Kingdom.
