The Minister of Information denies rumors of refusing to receive Tahnoon bin Zayed
Saudi Minister of Media, Salman Al-Dossari, categorically denied recent rumors circulating on social media claiming that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had refused to receive His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and National Security Advisor of the United Arab Emirates. This denial put an end to the speculation and misinformation that attempted to undermine the strong fraternal relations between the two brotherly countries.
A statement reflecting the depth of fraternal relations
In a firm and direct response, Al-Dossari confirmed via his official account that the rumors were completely unfounded, using language that reflected the depth of the social and political ties that bind Riyadh and Abu Dhabi. The Minister of Information stated in his post: “What is being circulated about the Kingdom refusing to receive His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed is untrue. His Highness comes to the Kingdom whenever he wishes without prior notice; it is his home and its leadership is his family.” These words were not merely a diplomatic denial, but a political and social message affirming that official protocols fade in the face of the profound brotherhood that unites the leadership and people of the two countries.
Saudi-Emirati relations: A model of strategic integration
These rumors come at a time when Saudi-Emirati relations are at their peak, serving as an exceptional model of joint Arab cooperation. The Kingdom and the UAE are bound by deep-rooted historical, geographical, and social ties, strengthened by shared strategic visions on regional and global issues. These relations culminated in the establishment of the Saudi-Emirati Coordination Council, under whose umbrella hundreds of joint initiatives operate, aiming to achieve integration across various economic, security, and developmental fields, serving the interests of both brotherly nations.
The importance of countering malicious rumors
The Minister of Information's statement is particularly significant given the proliferation of fake news, which often aims to sow discord among the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed is a pivotal figure in the region's political, security, and economic landscape, and his visits to the Kingdom are always part of ongoing coordination and consultation between the two leaderships. Therefore, the swift official denial preempts any attempts to undermine this firmly established strategic alliance.
Common destiny and unified vision
The phrase “shared destiny” is not merely a slogan, but a tangible reality reflected in the high-level coordination between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi in confronting regional and international challenges. The language used by Minister Al-Dossari confirms that the Kingdom always opens its doors to its brothers, and that relations between the Kingdom and the UAE transcend traditional frameworks to reach the level of full partnership and genuine brotherhood. This renders any attempt to cast doubt on this relationship a futile endeavor that cannot withstand the realities of history, geography, and shared blood.
