In his remarks during the ceremony, Al Mansouri said, “The strong friendship and partnership between the UAE and China are built on 35 years of amity and harmony. The historic relations between the two countries are further deepened by mutual visits of the leadership. The visits made to China by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, over the past years, signify the aspirations to enhance bilateral ties.”

He added that the famous statement of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, “Give me agriculture and I assure you of civilisation,” has been a source of inspiration in developing the agricultural sector in the UAE.

“The Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition is aligned with the goals of the UAE’s strategy and approach for greening the desert and developing agriculture. It has enabled us to showcase our efforts to transform the desert into a green oasis, using advanced technology.”
