His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Wednesday swore in Al Otaiba, along with a number of other ambassadors, at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi.
New UAE ambassadors to Poland, Kazakhstan and the Philippines have also taken their oath, while the new foreign ambassadors of Turkey, Fiji and Tuvalu presented their credentials to Sheikh Mohammed.

The UAE-France relationship is one of the strongest and most important we have, and I will work tirelessly to advance it during my time in Paris,” she posted.
