UAE: Sheikh Khalifa’s British state visit

Following on from UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s fence-mending visit to the UAE last November, Queen Elizabeth II has invited UAE President Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan to pay a state visit to the UK from 30 April to 1 May. Sheikh Khalifa will stay at Windsor Castle. Queen Elizabeth and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, last paid a state visit to the UAE in 2010, at Sheikh Khalifa’s invitation. The late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan made a state visit to Britain in 1989.
