Meeting with His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Tahoon Bin Mohammed Al Nahayan

Shipmates,

This afternoon I met with His Highness Brigadier Sheikh Ahmed Bin Tahoon Mohamed Al Nahayan, of the Critical National Infrastructure Authority (CNIA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and His Excellency Yousif Mana Saed Al Otaiba, UAE Ambassador to the United States. The meeting was part of a larger trip to learn about Coast Guard missions and capabilities. The Coast Guard, with our DHS partners, are creating a working relationship in which we can exchange best practices, discuss issues of mutual interest, and better execute our respective missions.

As we have done with our many friends around the globe we continue to reach out, partner, and collaborate.
