UK-UAE ties on the cusp of something bigger | GulfNews.com:
"Fireworks exploded from the Burj Khalifa and celebrations held across the UAE last November following the announcement that Dubai was chosen to host the 2020 World Expo. In becoming the region’s first city to hold the Expo, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, vowed to “breathe new life into the ancient role of the Middle East as a melting pot for cultures and creativity”.
As well as being a hub for commerce, the UAE has always been an innovative hub for exchanging ideas and information. That is why the British government was fully behind the Expo bid from early on.
Over one million British nationals visit the UAE every year and more than 100,000 British citizens live and work in the country. Meanwhile, thousands of Emiratis come to the UK to visit, study or do business. Our partnership crosses sectors including education, energy, defence and many others."
