During a time when some countries are seeking to intervene in the internal affairs of the region’s countries, the UAE has been keen to maintain security, peace and stability, and promote the values of tolerance and coexistence, Ghobash added.

Neumann offered her condolences to the UAE’s leadership, government and people on the passing of the late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, and congratulated President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, noting that she shares the same vision of tolerance, peace, and stability as the UAE.
