Under the title “United Arab Emirates, its economy and bilateral relations with Spain<\/strong>”, the Hon. Mr. Antonio Álvarez Barthe, Ambassador of Spain to the United Arab Emirates<\/a> (UAE), participated the last October 22 2019 in the International Classroom<\/a> program organized by the CEI International Affairs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the meeting, to which different personalities from the business and university world attended, the Ambassador Álvarez spoke about the history, politics, economy<\/strong> and the place that Spain has on the relations with the UAE.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Starting for a summary of the country’s history<\/strong>, the Ambassador Álvarez explained the particularities of the British colonization of the UAE, based on a protectorate system with a high autonomy in internal affairs, as well as the historical process of the federation of the emirates after its independence. Moreover, he said that, despite the country’s federal character, the emirate of Abu Dhabi, the most prosperous, has been consolidating its power and centrality in the federation, as reflected in the fact that the highest authority of the UAE, the president, is the emir of Abu Dhabi itself, Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.<\/p>\n
