The UAE delegation highlighted the country’s active participation in working groups addressing several key priority areas, including anti-corruption, culture, education, development, women’s empowerment, artificial intelligence and the digital economy, employment, disaster risk reduction, climate, and environmental sustainability.
The UAE reaffirmed its support for the South African presidency’s efforts and emphasized the country’s commitment to multilateral cooperation through the G20 platform.
Notably, South Africa extended an invitation to the UAE to participate as a guest country in the G20 process and summit in 2025.
