Al Shamsi added that dispatching the plane is part of endeavours that “contribute to support national and international efforts to achieve food security for a large segment of Burkina Faso’s residents, who are severely suffering. The UAE’s contributions aim to reinforce bilateral relations across various fields to enhance ties between the two countries.”
