The UAE will remain a supplier of oil and gas for "as long as the world is in need", UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, said at the start of the COP27 summit in Egypt on Monday.

"The UAE is considered a responsible supplier of energy, and it will continue playing this role for as long as the world is in need of oil and gas," he added.


Next year's COP28 summit, to be hosted in Dubai's Expo City, will include the "first evaluation of the implementation of the Paris Climate Accords", he said.

Sheikh Mohamed has met with a number of heads of state and officials on the sidelines of the COP27 conference. He held talks with Isaac Herzog, President of Israel; Macky Sall, President of Senegal; UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak; and the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva.
