After the United Arab Emirates was removed from his Gulf tour that took place earlier in April, Egypt’s interim Prime Minister, Dr Essam Sharaf will head to Abu Dhabi on 8 May for a two-day visit to the UAE.

The Egyptian PM is scheduled to hold talks with President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan and the Vice President, as well as Prime Minister and Dubai Crown Prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum.

The UAE Foreign Minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan is looking forward to Dr Sharaf’s visit, commenting that “the visit comes with a keenness to bolster the fraternal and historic ties between the UAE and Egypt in all fields.”
