Shedding light on cultural relations between UAE and France Levitte said that the strong cooperation between the two countries in this field is unparalleled. The Paris-Sorbonne University-Abu Dhabi will start awarding diplomas for the fist time from October this year. Projects are on the anvil to set up partnership between UAE and France in the field of school level education with the participation of Louis-le-Grand of Paris; Levitte said.

The UAE, known for its keenness for openness to the world, is bringing world's cultures to its people through the project for opening a branch of the Louvre Museum (Paris, France) on its land in Abu Dhabi. It can be named as the world country, as it stands as a model of openness to the world. A country that lives in the twenty first century, and knows how to take control of globalisation on its lands, as well as in its relations with the outer world, said Levitte.

In the field of defence, half of the UAE's armament is French, and discussions are going on for striking new deals.
