In a significant move reinforcing regional cooperation and global environmental leadership, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, has extended a formal invitation to His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The invitation is for the upcoming UN Water Conference 2026, a landmark event set to take place in Abu Dhabi.
Strengthening Strategic Ties Between UAE and Saudi Arabia
The written message was delivered during a high-level meeting in Riyadh.

This diplomatic exchange underscores the deep-rooted brotherhood and strategic partnership between the two nations as they lead the way in addressing global challenges.
