Sheikh Tahnoun discussed the enduring US-UAE strategic partnership and various global and regional issues during his meeting with Jake Sullivan, US National Security Advisor at the White House.

Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and his counterpart lauded the various vital partnerships between their countries.

Sullivan welcomed the UAE’s leadership in the run-up to the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the UNFCCC, to be held next November in Expo Dubai City, and its commitment to becoming a global leader in clean energy technologies, including through the US-UAE Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy (PACE).

The two sides also underscored the importance of building trusted technology ecosystems and the potential for advanced technology to improve human welfare in the Middle East region and globally.

The US National Security Advisor confirmed the US commitment to deterring threats against the UAE and other US partners while also working diplomatically to de-escalate conflicts and reduce tensions in the region.

Additionally, Sheikh Tahnoun and Sullivan explored ways to deepen and expand the Abraham Accords, including through the I2U2 grouping (India, Israel, United States, and the UAE), as well as shared goals towards building a more integrated, prosperous, and stable Middle East region.

Both sides said they are looking forward to remaining in close contact on these and other issues.
