Revision as of 13:46, 19 October 2015

The United Kingdom-United Arab Emirates All-Party Parliamentary Group (UKUAEAPPG) was established with a view 'to promote good relations between the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates'. [1] With every parliament, the group is dissolved and then re-established by parliamentarians concerned with the relationship between the United Arab Emirates and Britain.

Background

Given the importance of the United Arab Emirates as a trading partner and geopolitical strategic ally, the UKUAEAPPG works very closely with the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates on maintaining and improving relations between Britain and the region.

Speaking on the res-establishment of the group and appointment of the new officers in 2010, Mohammed Al Otaiba, Charge d'Affaires at the UAE Embassy in London, said the Embassy:

'welcomes the re-establishment of this valuable group, whose purpose is to promote relations between our two countries. Many members of both Houses of Parliament are interested in the UAE' and 'will endeavour to keep the Group informed about the latest developments in the UAE, and thereby widen an appreciation of our country among policy-makers in Britain.' [2]

Secretariat

Quiller Consultants, a London-based private consultancy, is employed by the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates to act as the UKUAEAPPG's secretariat. [3]
