The G20 Summit in Brazil became a most important diplomatic milestone when Sheik Khaled Bin Mohamed met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and French President Emmanuel Macron. Their high-level meetings showed the UAE’s expanding role in global affairs. The UAE deepened its commitment to build stronger international partnerships.

Sheik Khaled Bin Mohamed’s meetings with Egyptian and French leaders focused on their shared interests. Economic cooperation, sustainable development, and regional stability topped their agenda. These talks paved the way for better collaboration between the nations. The leaders reinforced their shared vision to create prosperity and progress in today’s interconnected world.

UAE’s Diplomatic Milestone at G20

Sheik Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan represented President Sheik Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at the 19th G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro. This marked the UAE’s fifth appearance as a guest country at the summit. The event focused on “Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet” and highlighted UAE’s expanding role in global governance.

Sheik Khaled made a bold move at the summit by pledging AED 367.21 million through the UAE Aid Agency. The funds will support the newly established Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty. This initiative will speed up worldwide efforts to eliminate hunger and poverty through several ambitious targets:

• Reaching 500 million people through cash transfer programs in low-income countries by 2030
• Expanding high-quality school meals to an additional 150 million children
• Mobilizing substantial credit and grants through multilateral development banks

The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi led a distinguished delegation that included Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Cooperation, and Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, Minister of Investment. They held meaningful talks about improving global governance, tackling climate challenges, and moving toward clean energy.

The visit proved highly productive as Sheik Khaled’s meetings with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva led to strategic agreements in investment and international cooperation. These agreements have reinforced UAE’s standing as a crucial force in global economic development.

Strengthening Strategic Partnerships

Sheik Khaled strengthened the UAE’s international partnerships through most important diplomatic achievements at the G20 summit. His talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi led both leaders to review their nations’ resilient relationship. They stressed the need for continued coordination to move their mutual interests forward.

The UAE leader met French President Emmanuel Macron to build on their historical ties and expand strategic collaboration. Their discussion highlighted a shared dedication to strengthen partnerships and improve coordination to achieve G20 objectives.

UAE’s economic diplomacy shined through its partnership with Brazil. Trade relations between the two nations reached AED 13.28 billion in the first eight months of the year. UAE’s investments in Brazil stand at AED 18.36 billion, with major stakes from:

• Mubadala
• DP World
• Emirates Airlines
• First Abu Dhabi Bank
• Yahsat

UAE Minister of Investment Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi and Brazilian Chief of Staff Rui Costa signed a most important memorandum of understanding. This agreement creates a shared framework to boost UAE investments in Brazil’s key sectors. Brazil remains UAE’s largest trading partner in Latin America and second-largest in the Americas, after the United States.

Global Development Commitments

The G20 summit marked a pivotal moment with its Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called food insecurity a “stain that shames humanity,” highlighting the pressing need to act.

Several major international organizations have joined forces to support this alliance:

• The African Union and European Union
• International development banks
• The Rockefeller Foundation
• The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Sheik Khaled announced at the summit that the UAE Aid Agency would contribute AED 367.21 million to curb global hunger. This significant pledge lines up with the alliance’s fresh approach to funding and knowledge exchange. The initiative supports various country-led programs that aim to reduce hunger and poverty worldwide.

Proven strategies stand at the core of this initiative. Cash transfers help immediate relief efforts. Local school feeding programs provide sustainable solutions. Better access to microfinance creates opportunities for growth. These actions strengthen the G20’s dedication to sustainable food production and marketing in developing countries. The initiative also tackles crucial challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and desertification.

Sheik Khaled’s participation at the G20 Summit shows UAE’s growing influence and steadfast dedication to global development. The UAE has emerged as a crucial player in tackling global challenges through diplomatic meetings with world leaders and significant financial commitments. The country pledged AED 367.21 million to fight hunger and poverty. They also built mutually beneficial alliances with Egypt, France, and Brazil to promote international cooperation and eco-friendly development.

The summit’s economic partnerships align with UAE’s vision to boost global prosperity while pursuing its strategic goals. The country expanded trade relations with Brazil and supported the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty. These achievements have created a robust foundation for future shared efforts to solve worldwide challenges effectively.
