The United Arab Emirates was elected to the UN Security Council on Friday, an important achievement for the Gulf country that has peaceful relations with Israel.
“Thank you to our fellow Member States for the support and trust they have placed in the UAE today,” the country’s UN mission said in a statement. “We look forward to working alongside other Security Council members to secure peace, spur innovation, advance inclusion, and build resilience.”
Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, said that the Emirates was ready to "shoulder its share of responsibility for the world’s most pressing challenges…I hope that our history as a trusted partner and intermediary will enable us to make a lasting contribution during the two years we serve on the Security Council.”
