If you live in Abu Dhabi and wondered why many key landmarks, including the Sheikh Zayed Bridge and ADNOC Headquarters, were bathed in green light, there is a VERY special reason behind it.<\/p>\n
The same reason why your phone reads UAE KSA TOGETHER instead of Etisalat or du.<\/p>\n
A historic partnership<\/h3>\n
The UAE and Saudi Arabia has taken significant steps\u00a0to enter a strategic alliance with the first ever meeting of\u00a0Saudi-Emirati Coordination Council that was held in Jeddah on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The council was chaired by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, as well as\u00a0Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, who\u00a0met at the Peace Palace in Jeddah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The aim of the meeting was to\u00a0announce the structure of the coordination council to boost “joint collaboration on the implementation of projects and create an Arab model of cooperation.”<\/p>\n
The two leaders have set a five-year time-frame to implement a total of 44\u00a0projects\u00a0promoting economic, developmental and military integration.<\/p>\n Our countries have the potential, resources, the correct strategic vision & above all, our youth – our most valuable asset. Our meeting today & the launching of Saudi-UAE Coordination Council is a framework that will enhance development opportunities, cooperation & empowerment. pic.twitter.com\/0yFGzDvMr3<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 \u0645\u062d\u0645\u062f \u0628\u0646 \u0632\u0627\u064a\u062f (@MohamedBinZayed) June 6, 2018<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In our second home, KSA, my brother Mohammed bin Salman & I witnessed the 1st meeting of the Saudi-UAE Coordination Council, which represents our aspirations for the future & reflects our vision, brotherhood & common destiny.
