The United Arab Emirates and Italy have announced the increase of their relations to the level of Strategic Partnership, a report at UAE’s official news agency said over the weekend.

“The announcement came during a meeting held today between President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at Al Shati Palace in Abu Dhabi,” the report said.

This is important because it shows Italy’s increasing importance to the region. The meetings in the UAE included a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for cooperation on energy transition projects and sustainability initiatives between ADNOC and the Italian energy group Eni. The reports in the UAE said that the current focus of the partnership relates to boosting energy security and enhancing energy efficiency.
