MEXICO CITY: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, arrived in Mexico City Sunday, pledging to enhance relations with the Latin American countries.
Shaikh Mohammad and his delegation were welcomed at the Mexico City Airport by Carlos Alberto de Icaza Gonzalez, Mexican Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, a number of senior officials and Francisco Alonso Escobar, Mexican Ambassador to the UAE, a WAM report said.
“The world is full of opportunities in its four corners. It is a large arena for competition and achievement. Successful nations are the ones which extend their hands to everyone for the interests and welfare of their peoples,” Shaikh Mohammad said on his Twitter account.
“With God’s help, we will begin our tour of four countries in Latin America — Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. We have investments in these countries and opened air routes, and have increased our trade with them. Today we want to connect these countries with the Far East via the UAE,” Shaikh Mohammad tweeted after his arrival in Mexico City for a two-day state visit.
He said the four countries recently sent several commercial and business delegations to the UAE to enhance their presence in Middle East markets, and “we are here today to strengthen this relationship.”
