ABU DHABI // Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, met Poland’s president-elect Andrzej Duda on Tuesday.
Mr Duda, who is due to formally take over the presidency from Bronisław Komorowski on August 6, welcomed Sheikh Mohammed to Warsaw, praising him as a key political figure with sharp insight and wisdom, state news agency Wam reported.
Sheikh Mohammed congratulated him on his election.
“I see you as a good omen and full of energy, taking Poland to a new stage of prosperity and openness, as well as pursuing new global partnerships, particularly with the UAE,” he said.
Mr Duda said he followed the UAE’s cultural, humanitarian and economic achievements.
He said Dubai was a “cultural and success icon” in business, entrepreneurship and finance, and a successful investment destination for major international companies.
He vowed his future government would work to boost new cooperation between Poland the UAE, build new partnerships in joint investment, exchange expertise and strengthen tourism.
“It is a great honour to meet such a prestigious Arab and international leader,” Mr Duda said. Sheikh Mohammed on Tuesday ended a two-day visit to Poland, in which he also met Mr Komorowski.
