7/30/24, 3:28 PM Sheikh Mohamed meets Chilean President in Abu Dhabi | The National
A guard of honour lined up to salute Mr Boric, with 21 artillery rounds fired. The

reception was also attended by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, Vice President, Deputy Prime

Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court.

The Chilean leader expressed his pleasure at visiting the Emirates and meeting Sheikh
Mohamed.

He conveyed his appreciation over the warm welcome extended to him and his delegation.

Sheikh Mohamed hosted a luncheon in honour of Mr Boric and his delegation.

Earlier on Monday, Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Co-operation,

greeted Mr Boric at the Presidential Airport in Abu Dhabi, where he was welcomed with

an honour guard.

Mohammed Al Neyadi, the UAE's ambassador to Chile, was also present to meet the

South American delegation.

It is the first visit by a Chilean president since diplomatic relations were established

between the countries in 1978.

The visit comes after the two countries concluded a Comprehensive Economic Partnership

Agreement this year.

Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, and Alberto van Klaveren,

Chile's Foreign Minister, signed a statement announcing the successful conclusion of

negotiations in April.

The agreement marked a significant milestone within the UAE's Cepa programme, which

aims to raise the value of the country's non-oil foreign trade to Dh4 trillion by 2031.
