Combining the capabilities of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia can create historic opportunities for their people and the whole region, said Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
He was addressing a joint retreat held on Saadiyat Island, bringing together 150 Emirati and Saudi officials to discuss the best ways to advance relations between the two countries to what he described as a new and exceptional level.
Called al-Azm, which means ‘determination’ in Arabic, the retreat seeks to turn agreements and understandings into tangible field projects that will benefit the people of the two countries and achieve a new level of exceptional relations between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, noted Shaikh Mohammed.
