UAE Ambassador Ahmed Hatim Bargash Al Menhali expressed his satisfaction that the 54th anniversary of the founding of the state is being celebrated together in Belgrade, a friendly country.
The United Arab Emirates were founded after six emirates in the Persian Gulf — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah — signed an agreement establishing the federation.
The agreement entered into force in 1971, and one year later the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah also joined the federation.
