International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) is an international independent agency that works according to the laws, regulations and norms that govern the work of such organisations, said Maryam Al Falasi, the Director of Communications at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday.
She said any agreement between Irena and Israel does not represent any change in the position of the UAE or its relations with Israel.
Al Falasi said the functions of missions accredited to Irena are limited to affairs related to their communications and dealings with the agency. They do not, under any circumstances, cover any other activities and do not involve any obligation upon the host country with regards to its diplomatic relations or any other relations.
Earlier, Israeli foreign ministry said it plans to open a diplomatic-level mission to the Irena in Abu Dhabi.
The office will not be a full mission, but will consist of a diplomat assigned to the agency.
