Friday marked the beginning of a new chapter at @IrelandEmbUAE.
Ambassador Mythen was honoured to present his credentials to H.H. Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, President of the UAE and ruler of Abu Dhabi, which marks the official beginning of his posting in Abu Dhabi.
The ceremony took place at Qasr Al Watan, the Presidential Palace. Amb Mythen conveyed the warm wishes of the @PresidentIRL and @GovIE, and expressed Ireland’s friendship and solidarity with the UAE and its people following the challenges faced in the region earlier this year.
