He affirmed the keenness of the UAE's leadership to further strengthen the historical relations between the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom for the benefit of both countries.

Sheikh Mansour pointed out the significant role played by the late Queen Elizabeth II in strengthening the longstanding friendship that brought together the United Kingdom and the UAE since the era of the founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and which was further consolidated during the era of the late Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

These friendship ties, he added, are witnessing continued progress and development under the era of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE.
