His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, has extended his heartfelt gratitude to Bangladesh for demonstrating strong diplomatic solidarity following recent Iranian attacks targeting the UAE. In an official letter addressed to the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, the UAE President acknowledged Dhaka’s steadfast backing during the crisis, noting that such support reflects the depth of friendship between the two nations.
Expressing deep grief over the loss of innocent human lives, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed convey his profound condolences for the tragic deaths of two Bangladeshi expatriates who were killed during the strikes. He extended his sympathies to the bereaved families and the people of Bangladesh, recognizing the immense contributions made by the Bangladeshi workforce residing in the Emirates.
In his correspondence, the UAE leader reaffirmed Abu Dhabi’s commitment to consolidating its long-standing partnership with Dhaka. He emphasized broadening scope in economic growth, development projects, and humanitarian initiatives. Both nations continue to share a mutual commitment toward regional peace, maritime stability, and shared economic prosperity across the Gulf and South Asia.
Highlighting a milestone moment for future diplomatic engagement, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed expressed a eager desire to undertake an official state visit to Bangladesh at the earliest opportunity. Accepting an invitation extended by the Bangladeshi Prime Minister, he noted that a high-level summit in Dhaka would open new avenues for strategic partnership.
Bilateral ties between Bangladesh and the UAE remain rooted in mutual respect, shared cultural values, and robust economic cooperation. Millions of Bangladeshi workers in the UAE serve as a vital link between the two societies, contributing significantly to both the Gulf country’s infrastructure and Bangladesh’s remittance inflows.
The upcoming presidential visit is expected to accelerate bilateral negotiations on trade agreements, manpower migration, and renewable energy investments. Against the backdrop of escalating regional tensions in the Middle East, this top-level exchange underlines the shared priority both governments place on regional stability and citizen safety.
