The invitation for President Marcos to visit the UAE was extended during a meeting between UAE Ambassador H.E. Mohamed Obaid Salem Alqataam Alzaabi and envoys at the president’s office last June. The UAE officials also invited President Marcos to attend the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), scheduled from November 30 to December 12 at Expo City Dubai.
World leaders, policymakers, environmental charities, community groups, businesses, and faith groups are set to join the highly anticipated and crucial event, which encourages collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and influencing decision-makers, emphasizing the importance of individual involvement in shaping a sustainable future.
