The gesture reflects the UAE’s commitment to fostering meaningful diplomatic relations across the African continent.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, similarly conveyed congratulatory remarks to both King Letsie III and Samuel Matekane, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Lesotho. This dual acknowledgement underscores the significance the Emirates places upon bilateral engagement at the highest levels of government.
