The emirate’s decade-long economic boom has helped it become one of the region’s most powerful political voices, the US ambassador said yesterday.
Addressing a meeting of the American Business Council in Dubai, Richard Olson, who took up his post in October, said the new administration in Washington would work closely with its allies on such regional issues as the Arab-Israeli conflict, Iran’s nuclear programme and Sudan.
“We seek the advice of the UAE on these thorny political issues, particularly in the case of Iran, in the case of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and on the question of support for the Palestinian Authority and more generally the Israeli-Arab conflict.
