DUBAI: The United Arab Emirates and the United States announced on Wednesday the start of a joint Defense Cooperation Agreement, a statement issued by the state-run news agency WAM said.
“The implementation of the Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) between the UAE and the US will enhance military coordination between the two countries and at this critical time will give further progress to the strong military, political and economic partnership that exists between them,” the statement added.
The UAE and the US signed the agreement earlier this year.
The DCA will advance that interest by fostering closer collaboration on defense and security matters and supporting efforts by both nations to maintain security in the Gulf region, the statement added.
