Abdelqader Saqqaf's Company Details
The United Arab Emirates Embassy in the United Kingdom works to develop the close partnership between the UAE and UK, based on the shared history of the two nations, and their mutual economic, cultural and strategic interests. This thriving bilateral relationship has grown since the UAE's formation in 1971, and today the UAE is the UK's largest trading partner in the Middle East, with many British citizens living and working in the UAE. A significant number of Emiratis also choose to live, work and study in the UK. As the UAE continues to evolve as a global hub, there are increasing opportunities for UK companies and professionals to contribute to the next stage of growth in the Emirates. The Embassy in London aims to assist in strengthening the UAE-UK relationship by supporting these commercial opportunities. The Embassy also collaborates with the UK to deepen social and cultural ties, and to boost technology and innovation. The UAE is a significant funder of UK research and development projects – particularly around environmental technologies and clean energy – while several UK universities have a presence in the UAE. To promote peace and tolerance globally, the UK and UAE work closely together on several counterterrorism and defence initiatives. The Armed Forces of the UAE and the UK have strong and longstanding ties, working in partnership to preserve security and stability in the Arabian Gulf. In 1996, the UK and UAE signed a Defence Cooperation Accord, which sets out arrangements for security cooperation.Through these ongoing efforts, the UAE-UK relationship is dedicated to promoting tolerance, education, the arts and the environment, to create a better cultural understanding globally.
