The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and France signed a strategic cooperation deal in the energy sector, according to a statement made by the French government on Monday.
The partnership aims to identify joint investment projects in France, the UAE or elsewhere in the sectors of hydrogen, renewable and nuclear energy, the French government said in a statement.
“In the current uncertain energy context, this agreement will pave the way for a stable long-term framework for cooperation, opening the way for new industrial contracts,” it added.
The deal coincides with the visit to Paris of UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan between July 17-19, his first overseas state visit since taking over from his half-brother in May.
