📍Dubai, UAE
@FAOADG_NENA met with the CEO of @fbmi_uae to discuss cooperation opportunities, including Mira initiative.
The engagement featured a “Diplomacy Lab” podcast on agricultural diplomacy, 2026 food security priorities and the International Year of the Woman Farmer.
Thrilled to be invited by the Fatima Bint Mohamed Bin Zayed Initiative (FBMI) to be the first Ambassador to speak at their Diplomacy Lab, alongside Khalifa Bin Hendi, Board Member of the UAE Tennis Federation.
The Diplomacy Lab, launched by the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy (AGDA) and FBMI, is a collaborative space designed to foster innovation in diplomacy. It serves as a hub for ministries, diplomats, and change makers to connect and co-create solutions for the challenges of 21st-century diplomacy.
Our discussion focused on Cultural and Arts Diplomacy, exploring how cultural exchanges open doors for dialogue, trust, and long-term partnerships.

During a meetup with remarkable students from NYU Abu Dhabi at the Fatima Bint Mohamed Bin Zayed Initiative - Diplomacy Lab, to discuss pivotal growth initiatives aimed at fostering economic diversification within the UAE.

Excited to see the progress being made at the #DiplomacyLab today and discuss potential collaboration with @FBMI_uae and CEO @maywandJ. I'm looking forward to it inspiring a new generation of diplomats ready to share #UAE’s trade, investment and innovation message with the world.
The UAE 🇦🇪 continues its emergency aid to Afghanistan as the death toll from the devastating Khost earthquake has exceeded 1,150 people. The UAE’s aid 🛬 also comes with a distribution strategy, and arrived quickly to Paktika by both road and local helicopters. See below videos.
Afghan hospitality continues to astound:
At a remote village in Gayan, close to the earthquake’s epicentre, these men refused to let us leave before we had taken at least one apricot each
We tried our best to refuse, but they insisted despite their homes being destroyed 💚💚💚
