Warsaw — His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Tuesday met with Poland’s newly-elected President Andrzej Duda, who will formally take over on August 6.

The meeting came at the conclusion of Shaikh Mohammed’s official visit to Poland.

Duda welcomed Shaikh Mohammed in Poland as a key political figure who has sharp insight and wisdom. He noted that he is following the UAE’s cultural, humanitarian and economic achievements in general and Dubai in particular. He described Dubai as a “cultural and success icon” in the fields of business, entrepreneurship, finance and a successful investment destination.

He said Shaikh Mohammed’s visit would contribute towards enhancing the bonds of friendship between the two countries. He promised that his government would work to boost cooperation bridges between his country and the UAE, aimed to build partnerships between the two sides in joint investment fields, exchange of expertise and strengthening the tourism sector. “I have the great honour to meet such (a) prestigious Arab and international leader since winning the elections.”

Shaikh Mohammed praised the democratic approach adopted by Poland since its independence to take the country towards political, economic and cultural openness. “I see you, Mr President, as a good omen and full of energy which would transform Poland to a new stage of prosperity and openness as well as pursuing new global partnerships in all fields, particularly with the UAE.”
