President Sheikh Mohamed on Thursday met Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Prime Minister of Greece, at Al Shati Palace in Abu Dhabi.
The two men discussed ways to enhance bilateral ties, specifically within the framework of the comprehensive strategic partnership (CSP) between the two countries, state news agency Wam reported.
They reviewed co-operation in the economy, advanced technology, artificial intelligence, investment, food security, and renewable energy, while also exchanging views on regional and international developments. Sheikh Mohamed and Mr Mitsotakis also stressed the importance of achieving peace in regional and global conflicts.
The meeting was also attended by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and National Security Adviser; Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohamed, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Special Affairs; Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Tahnoon, Adviser to the President; Reem Al Hashemy, Minister of State for International Co-operation; Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology; and Dr Ali Al Dhaheri, the UAE’s ambassador to Greece.
The CSP between the two countries was signed in March last year after Mubadala Investment Company, Abu Dhabi's strategic investment arm, and Greece's Hellenic Development Bank of Investments signed an initial agreement to broaden their existing partnership through a €200 million ($219 million) investment.
The UAE-Greece CSP spans areas including political co-operation, international humanitarian developments, trade, investment, tourism, culture and energy sector investments, among others. Dr Al Jaber said at the time that the UAE was keen to bolster strategic relations with the EU country, particularly in mutually beneficial sectors.
The Facility’s Versatility
Between the start of the 2020 IPL on September 20, and the end of the Pakistan Super League this coming Thursday, the Zayed Cricket Stadium has had an unprecedented amount of traffic.
Never before has a ground in this country – or perhaps anywhere in the world – had such a volume of major-match cricket.
And yet scoring has remained high, and Abu Dhabi has seen some classic encounters in every format of the game.
