H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with Luc Frieden, Prime Minister of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, during a working visit by the UAE topdiplomat to Luxembourg.

The meeting reviewed bilateral relations between the UAE and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and explored ways to strengthen cooperation across various sectors, including the economy, trade and investment, as well as other areas supporting the development priorities of both countries.

H.H. Sheikh Abdullah commended the growing prospects of cooperation between the two nations, affirming the UAE’s commitment to fostering advanced and fruitful relations with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in support of their efforts to achieve comprehensive development and sustainable economic prosperity.

The meeting also addressed a number of regional and international issues of shared interest, with the two sides exchanging views on the latest developments in the region.

The two sides discussed the repercussions of Iran's unprovoked terrorist attacks against civilian sites and facilities in the UAE using missiles and drones, as well as their serious implications for international maritime security, energy supplies and the global economy.
