Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, has discussed ways to strengthen bilateral relations during talks with his Austrian counterpart Beate Meinl-Reisinger.
During the phone call, Sheikh Abdullah congratulated Meinl-Reisinger on her recent appointment as minister of foreign affairs and expressed his commitment to working closely with her to deepen ties between the two countries.
He emphasised that enhancing cooperation would contribute to both nations’ development objectives and support their shared aspirations for long-term sustainable prosperity.
The Emirati-Austrian relationship, spanning 50 years, continues to grow under the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership established in 2021. The partnership aims to expand collaboration across key areas, including political, diplomatic, security, economic and technological sectors.
Austria’s economic presence in the UAE is also notable. The Emirates serve as a hub for over 400 Austrian companies, providing a base for operations in the Gulf, North and East Africa, and parts of India. Additionally, the UAE is a key entry point for Austrian exports into the Middle East.
