Our close relationship with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) allows us to discuss important issues such as Human Rights and where the UK has cause for concern we raise it at official and Ministerial level. The 2017 UK-UAE Year of Culture presents an excellent opportunity for strengthening and developing dialogue between our two countries.
