President of the United Arab Emirates Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan received First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov, who heads the Russian delegation to the UAE. The meeting discussed current issues of cooperation between Russia and the UAE in the trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian spheres.
Denis Manturov conveyed greetings and best wishes for the further development of the UAE to Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan from Russian President Vladimir Putin. In turn, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan conveyed greetings to Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressing hope for the further development and prosperity of Russia and its people.
The First Deputy Prime Minister told the UAE President about the Russian exposition at the International Conference and Exhibition of the Defense Industry IDEX-2025, which will start on February 17 in Abu Dhabi. Here, on an area of more than 2 thousand square meters, 40 Russian companies will present their products.
Denis Manturov noted the dynamic development of cooperation between the two countries in the field of tourism. According to the results of last year, the number of Russian tourists visiting the UAE approached 2 million. There is a growing interest in Russia on the part of Emirati citizens – in 2024, more than 67 thousand tourists from the UAE visited the country. The expansion of direct air traffic contributes to the growth of tourist exchanges. Currently, there are over 300 regular passenger flights per week between the cities of Russia and the UAE – this is 1.5 times more than six months ago. The flight map is expanding – today there are already 25 routes.
During the meeting, cooperation in the field of sports was also discussed, including holding the second international multi-sport tournament “Games of the Future” in the Emirates in 2025 (the first tournament was held in Kazan in 2024 on the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin). Denis Manturov noted the readiness of the Russian side to share experience and provide maximum assistance in organizing the games.
Particular attention is paid to issues of cooperation in the field of higher education, and active work is underway to open a Russian University in Abu Dhabi.
