UAE, US reliable allies
October 4th, 2010 - 1:14 am ICT by IANSAbu Dhabi, Oct 3 (IANS/WAM) The United Arab Emirates and the US are reliable allies with shared security and economic interests, a UAE minister has said.
“This is due to the fact that the UAE is a source of stability and growth in the Arabian Gulf and around the globe,” Foreign Trade Minister Sheikha Lubna said at a reception here in honour of the visit of a US trade mission earlier in the week.
The reception was attended by business executives and government leaders from the US and the UAE with interests in the defence, aerospace and security sectors.
In her speech, Lubna said: “While the UAE has a strong relationship with many of the large US defence and aerospace companies, we see room for partnerships and new facilities being created to provide multiple sources for parts, and even a measure of self-sufficiency by creating capability at home.”
