Abu Dhabi's desire to expand cooperation between women's business structures fully corresponds to the advanced relations of the Russian-Emirati strategic partnership, Mikhail Bogdanov, Russian Presidential Special Representative for the Middle East and Africa and Deputy Foreign Minister, said on Tuesday at a press conference devoted to the establishment of the World Association for Entrepreneurship Development "Women's Business Council".
"We are grateful to our Emirati friends for their attention to building cooperation of women business structures. This attitude of Abu Dhabi is fully in line with the advanced relations of strategic partnership that binds our two countries," the diplomat said.
Bogdanov said it was no coincidence that Ms. Farida Al-Awadhi, chairwoman of the UAE Council of Women Entrepreneurs, came to present the women's business council.
"We hope that the women's business council will be enlarged by representatives of foreign business circles from all over the world," he said. - "This format could be the starting point for further building of mutually beneficial and business partnerships, which in our opinion should be of a long-term nature."
"In this difficult situation, we appreciate the positions of our Emirati friends, there are no problems in our bilateral relations, they are mutually beneficial and mutually respectful," he said.
Bogdanov noted that the leaders of the two countries are in constant contact. "There seems to be objectively a very good prospect for these relations, and cooperation between women who do business is an additional element of our relations with the UAE," the Russian deputy foreign minister added.
