UAE-US Relations - A Testament To The Resilience Of International Partnerships

 

Any discussion that implies the United Arab Emirates is moving away from Washington is misguided; the cooperation is about more than just short-term political expediency. It is important not to get sidetracked by the fleeting game of diplomatic maneuvering.

The relationship is based on a military cooperation, not a fleeting bond. The military apparatus of the United Arab Emirates is deeply embedded in American technology and software. The security partnership between Abu Dhabi and Washington is essential and difficult to replace or imitate.

The UAE’s decision to acquire the F-35 jet, a cutting-edge technology that emphasizes the significance Abu Dhabi placed on aligning its military capabilities with those of the US, is evidence of its willingness to improve its military infrastructure through American knowledge.

The UAE and the US recently announced the formation of the I2U2 joint business alliance, which aims to promote economic development and food security against the essential backdrop of global climate change, which has ruthlessly been disrupting livelihoods. The partnership also includes India, Israel, and the UAE.

The UAE and the US have signed an agreement to spend $100 billion in clean energy projects, with the objective of adding 100 gigawatts of clean energy globally by 2035. This deal is vital to the countries’ climate goals. This agreement will encourage investment in crucial areas by the public and private sectors.
