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.
