President Sheikh Mohamed received credentials from several foreign ambassadors to the UAE on Wednesday.

He also received the oath of Moataz Al Fahim, the new UAE ambassador to Myanmar, state news agency Wam reported.

Sheikh Mohamed welcomed the ambassadors to Qasr Al Bahr in Abu Dhabi where he wished them luck in performing missions that he hoped would benefit the UAE and their respective countries.

On arrival at their posts, new ambassadors typically meet their host country's foreign minister or head of state to present a letter of their credentials in a formal ceremony. This marks the beginning of the ambassadorship.

On Wednesday, Sheikh Mohamed said the ambassadors could expect the utmost assistance from his government and the authorities to help them with their missions.

The ceremony was attended by Ministers of State Sheikh Shakhbout bin Nahyan and Ahmed Al Sayegh, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Khaled Belhoul and other officials.
