Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, met with Emiratis studying in the UK during a state visit to the country.
Sheikh Abdullah spoke to a delegation of 73 Emirati students about their specialisations and the progress they are making in their studies.
"UAE students are actually ambassadors of knowledge and they have to achieve excellence to represent their country in the best possible way while pursuing education abroad," said Sheikh Abdullah.
He urged the students to work hard, and he praised their determination to overcome any challenges they face before they return to the UAE.
The students said they were happy to meet Sheikh Abdullah and pledged to do their best.
The meeting was also attended by Sulaiman Al Mazroui, UAE Ambassador to the UK.

Know before you go
- Jebel Akhdar is a two-hour drive from Muscat airport or a six-hour drive from Dubai. It’s impossible to visit by car unless you have a 4x4. Phone ahead to the hotel to arrange a transfer.
- If you’re driving, make sure your insurance covers Oman.
- By air: Budget airlines Air Arabia, Flydubai and SalamAir offer direct routes to Muscat from the UAE.
- Tourists from the Emirates (UAE nationals not included) must apply for an Omani visa online before arrival at evisa.rop.gov.om. The process typically takes several days.
- Flash floods are probable due to the terrain and a lack of drainage. Always check the weather before venturing into any canyons or other remote areas and identify a plan of escape that includes high ground, shelter and parking where your car won’t be overtaken by sudden downpours.
