The 7 Emirates include Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Ras al Khaimah<\/p>\n<p>Ambassador Hazza said that the \u2018UAE Nation Day\u2019 is a particularly important day for UAE citizens and administration especially because it is a reminder of the diplomatic relationships the UAE has built over the years with different countries including Rwanda. \u201cOur relations with Rwanda have remarkably improved this year, especially in the tourism, education, commerce and aviation sectors\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the relationship between Rwanda and UAE aims at brainstorming and implementing solutions that will contribute to the development of the two countries.<br \/>\n\u201cI believe that our relationship with Rwanda benefits us all in terms of development and I am committed to keep supporting it to the best of my abilities\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the UAE opened its embassy in Kigali in 2018, it is the second time the \u2018UAE Nation Day\u2019 ceremony is held in Rwanda. This ceremony gathered government officials including other ambassadors representing their countries in Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe who was the guest of honor in this ceremony says the fact that both countries have embassies proves the good relationship between Rwanda and the UAE and that Rwanda has benefited a lot from this relationship especially in commerce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur commercial ties have remarkably improved in the past 5 years given the fact that even our exports to the UAE multiplied by two. We have also opened our embassy in UAE in 2015 in order to facilitate our commercial and political interests. The UAE has also opened its embassy in Rwanda in March, 2018\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, the two countries exchanged goods with a value of US $750 million.
