Sheikh Mohamed also honoured the UAE’s COP28 negotiating team, along with members of the COP28 Presidency Office and various working groups, by awarding them the First Class Order of Zayed II.

The President awarded Her Excellency Reem bint Ebrahim Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Cooperation, the Order of the Union in appreciation of her efforts and role in the UAE’s successful hosting of Expo 2020 Dubai.

During the award ceremony at Erth Hotel in Abu Dhabi, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed congratulated all the teams on the success of COP28, praising their role in its organisation and the distinguished manner in which it was convened, reflecting the nation’s standing in hosting major international events.
