UAE, Luxembourg to boost co-operation

General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, welcomed yesterday Crown Prince of Luxembourg Prince Guillaume, who is on a visit to the country leading an economic delegation.

It will enhance the opportunities of both countries to benefit from their capabilities in the fields of banking, financial services as well as other avenues of common interest.
