The Turkish Embassy in the UAE was opened in 1979, following the foundation of the UAE in 1971, whereas the UAE opened its Embassy in Turkey in 1983.  The relationship between Turkey and the UAE, which started to deteriorate in the process called the Arab "Spring" (which in fact plunged the region into a dark "winter") did not improve afterward. The fact that Abu Dhabi did not even feel the need to hide its support for the July 15, 2016 coup attempt in Turkey on social media further increased the tension. In this sense, the process that started with a phone call between the foreign ministers of the UAE and Turkey last April is progressing in a positive direction. In the UAE, gestures such as the passive appointment of politicians known for their opposition to Turkey are reflected in the press. The fact that the commercial relations between the UAE and Turkey have not completely broken off despite the crisis period is also a basis for normalization. The two countries...

opportunities and challenges Brexit could create for the UAE and the UK in the fields of economics, security, and defense. It explores the role of the European Union in the bilateral relations post-Brexit These are daunting, and there are questions  to which there are yet no answers, but the all-party parliamentary group had to stress that the course was set and would be seen through. In general, reactions were positive, both from UK friends in the British Business Group and Emirati contacts, who had no doubt that business links would be maintained and new opportunities sought. The agreed bilateral trade target of £25 billion (Dh115bn) by 2020 remains firmly in place and should be a cause for celebration at Expo 2020 in Dubai. The Rulers of the Gulf states were now to be courted rather than cajoled. The summer of 1961 saw Sheikh Shakhbut make the first official visit of a Ruler of Abu Dhabi to the United Kingdom, including a private audience with Queen Elizabeth. Ther...

 UAE dirham was introduced in circulation for the first time on 19 May 1973. The Qatar and Dubai riyal were in circulation since 1966 in all of the emirates except Abu Dhabi, where the dirham replaced the Bahraini dinar. For example, oil prices collapsed in 2015 and reduced revenues for GCC countries.5 Many countries toyed with the idea of devaluing their currency against the U.S. dollar. The word "dirham" ultimately comes from drachma the Greek coin The devaluation would boost local revenue because U.S. dollars collected from oil sales could be repatriated for more dirhams.  Currency analysts predict further strengthening of the dirham in the coming months. Emerging markets will most likely continue to struggle and their currency value will depreciate further. This, however, will translate to better returns on remittance for expats in the UAE. Currency analysts advise expats who remit on a monthly basis to continue taking advantage of the soaring dirham...

In the absence of appropriate social policies, the green economy may exacerbate existing gender inequities to the detriment of overall sustainability. In the developing world, women are often the primary agricultural producers. As farmers, entrepreneurs, producers, consumers and household managers, women are key for implementing low-carbon strategies – and thus important agents of change. Structural gender inequality needs to be addressed to assure the well-being of women, the successful transition to a green economy and the achievement of sustainable development . Market-based approaches that emphasize economic growth have tended to exploit and marginalize women in both developed and developing countries in their roles as workers, consumers and citizens. For green growth strategies to succeed, equity issues must be fully addressed.The green economy offers a possibility for a more equitable sharing of revenue between men and women, capital and labour, and rich and poor ...

Emiratis have hailed the new government initiatives under the ‘Projects of the 50’ stressing that these will attract youths to join the private sector jobs, thereby solving the problem of unemployment among fresh graduates. “I am delighted with the new reforms because they will help build trust and confidence among fresh graduates to join the private sector,” said Al Mazrouie. “Many Emiratis are keen on joining government departments because of job security and high pay yet these jobs are limited and government can’t employ everyone.” The ‘Projects of the 50’ was unveiled by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, earlier this month to establish a comprehensive development cycle leading to UAE Centennial 2071

The news that has been spreading on social media that the government was planning to make some changes to the weekend is fake.

The government denied having changed the rules after social media lit up but talks have taken place.There are ideas that Friday could become a half-day or a ‘work from home day

Climate change is already affecting the Arab World in many ways. It will cause extreme heat to spread ,making some regions unlivable. Unfortunately, many of the Arab states are living in conditions of fragility and are consumed by the need to meet short-term goals. At the same time, the rich Gulf Arab states can afford to pump cold air onto sidewalks and in markets to allow for some comfort outdoors. Rising temperatures will put intense pressure on crops and already scarce water resources, potentially increasing migration and the risk of conflict.High temperatures are not just uncomfortable; they are disruptive to life in many respects. By 2050, temperatures in the MENA will be 4°C higher, according to Germany’s Max Planck Institute. By the end of the century, daytime highs could reach 50°C, with 200 days of exceptional heat every year The thought of what will happen in these cities as climate change worsens living conditions , if the standards of governance remain the same...
