UAE’s foreign policy principle: Strategic autonomy | Mohammed I. Al Dhaheri on Danube Lectures

We asked Mohammed Ibrahim Al Dhaheri, Deputy Director-General of the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy and Advisor at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the UAE, about the United Arab Emirates' initial visions and subsequent strategies for becoming a leading regional power and its relationships with OPEC, the Abraham Accords, and its geopolitical allies. The Danube Lectures is a video podcast of the Danube Institute, a Budapest-based conservative think tank that asks its guests – decision-makers, experts, academics, and politicians – about their unique ideas. Host: Tamás Maráczi, a journalist at the Danube Institute.
