The agenda centered around a substantive first round of political consultations at the Quai d'Orsay, co-chaired with Frédéric Mondoloni, Director General for Political and Security Affairs at the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, which discussed rapidly evolving geopolitical developments in Europe, the Middle East and Horn of Africa and underlined a shared emphasis on mediation and diplomacy. The discussion comfirmed a shared resolve to navigate complex global realities through concerted action together.
As part of the visit, HE Nusseibeh also held a series of bilateral meetings with senior French officials at the Elysee, including Paul Soler, Special Envoy of the President; Jérémie Robert, Head of African Affairs; as well as Bruno Fuchs, Member of Parliament and Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee. The engagements reflected the strength of UAE-France relations and explored areas for continued strategic coordination in fields of common interest, including regional security in the Middle East and Horn of Africa and globally, as well as partnerships in investment cooperation, development aid, trade and Artificial Intelligence. Across all topics, working together to achieve peace and stability is a key objective of the strategic partnership between the UAE and France.
The visit continued the momentum coming out of the visits to France by President HH Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan in February, and by HH Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs in March.
