UAE President Highlights Cooperation, Security, and Economic Progress During France Gathering
UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has reaffirmed the UAE’s commitment to working with international partners to promote peace, security, stability, and sustainable development around the world.
Speaking at the 52nd G7 Summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, Sheikh Mohamed emphasized the importance of international cooperation at a time when geopolitical tensions and global challenges continue to reshape the international landscape.
The UAE leader thanked French President Emmanuel Macron for hosting the summit and for extending an invitation to participate in discussions alongside world leaders, partners, and international stakeholders.
Addressing a Period of Global Uncertainty
During his address, Sheikh Mohamed noted that the region is experiencing a period of significant transformation and rapidly evolving challenges whose consequences extend well beyond regional borders.
He stressed that recent events have demonstrated the growing need for stronger cooperation between nations and a collective approach to addressing security, economic, and humanitarian concerns.
The UAE President also expressed appreciation to G7 members and international partners for their support during the country’s efforts to defend itself against thousands of missile and drone attacks targeting civilian infrastructure over six weeks.
According to Sheikh Mohamed, the crisis highlighted the importance of coordinated action to protect regional stability and maintain confidence in global economic systems.
Importance of Secure Trade and Supply Chains
Sheikh Mohamed underscored the role of resilient supply chains, secure trade routes, and reliable infrastructure in supporting economic growth and global prosperity.
He said that safeguarding stability is not solely a regional concern but a shared international responsibility.
As economies become increasingly interconnected, disruptions in one part of the world can quickly impact markets, industries, and communities elsewhere. Strengthening cooperation and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of trade and investment remain critical priorities for governments worldwide.
Support for Diplomatic Solutions
The UAE President welcomed diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions and advancing dialogue in the region.
He specifically commended the efforts of US President Donald Trump in helping facilitate an agreement on a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran.
Sheikh Mohamed reiterated that lasting peace can only be achieved through respect for national sovereignty, good-neighborly relations, and adherence to international law.
He emphasized that these principles are essential for creating a stable environment that promotes security, economic growth, and long-term prosperity for all nations.
Expanding Cooperation in Future-Focused Sectors
Beyond security and diplomacy, Sheikh Mohamed highlighted opportunities for deeper international collaboration in sectors expected to shape the future global economy.
These include:
- Artificial intelligence
- Energy transition initiatives
- Economic development and innovation
- Infrastructure and connectivity projects
He noted that the UAE has established itself as a reliable and forward-looking partner in these areas, investing heavily in emerging technologies and sustainable development initiatives.
The country’s participation in the G7 Summit reflects its broader strategy of strengthening international partnerships while supporting innovation, resilience, and long-term economic growth.
UAE’s Growing Global Role
Sheikh Mohamed said that forums such as the G7 Summit provide valuable opportunities to strengthen cooperation between nations and address shared challenges through dialogue and partnership.
He added that greater collaboration across technology, energy, trade, and infrastructure will be essential to supporting regional stability and creating a more prosperous future globally.
As the UAE continues to expand its international partnerships, the country remains focused on promoting practical solutions that contribute to peace, economic progress, and sustainable development across the world.
