“We are confident that King Salman’s visit to the UAE will bring a paradigm shift in bilateral ties which are based on the unity of the Emirati-Saudi political leaderships’ will as well as on the common aspirations of the two brotherly peoples,” Sheikh Muhammad said in a press statement issued on Saturday on the occasion of King Salman’s visit.
Sheikh Muhammad noted that the visit of the Saudi leader is of special significance at the time when the UAE is celebrating its 45th National Day.
“Sheikh Zayed believed that Saudi Arabia acts as a safety valve in the region and a key actor and pillar with regard to GCC and Arab security,” he pointed out.
Sheikh Muhammad emphasized that the UAE and Saudi Arabia were united in defending the rights and justice in Yemen as well as Arab security, and in confronting interference in the internal affairs of the region and plots against the security, sovereignty and the higher interests of Arab countries.
