Cultural and people-to-people ties between the UAE and Ukraine are built on the Agreement on Cultural Cooperation signed in 2017 and on the agreements on mutual visa exemption and on cooperation in tourism. Together, these agreements support cultural exchange, tourism and closer contacts between the two peoples.
In recent years, cooperation has increasingly focused on education and on support for children and families. Through partnership agreements with the Olena Zelenska Foundation, with a combined value of USD 9.5 million, the UAE Aid Agency supports centres for foster families, psychosocial recovery centres and safe schools in Ukraine. The UAE has also provided thousands of laptops and school bags to students in Ukraine.
The Embassy works with Ukrainian cultural and educational institutions to strengthen mutual understanding and to introduce Emirati culture and heritage to the Ukrainian public.
