Welcome from Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba
Welcome to the website for the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Washington, DC.
On behalf of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, I want to thank you for taking this opportunity to learn more about the UAE and the services and resources available through the Embassy.
These are exciting times in the history of UAE-US relations. Over the past three decades, the UAE has transformed its economy, infrastructure, and social institutions. With that transformation, the UAE has grown to be a responsible global citizen. In that spirit, our relationship with the United States — born decades ago from the shared goal of enhancing stability and peace throughout the Middle East — continues to blossom across many economic and cultural sectors.
The mission of our Embassy in Washington is clear: we are here to strengthen and deepen the already excellent relations between the UAE and the United States. Our nations’ complementary resources will fuel increased economic partnership, expanded security cooperation, and innovative cross-cultural investment.
I hope you continue using this site as a gateway to information about the UAE and our relationship with the United States.
Sincerely,
Yousef Al Otaiba
Ambassador
