Dr. Ali Obaid Al Dhaheri, the UAE's ambassador to China, also said the trip will build on the foundation of the comprehensive strategic partnership that was announced in July last year during President Xi Jinping’s historic visit to the UAE.
Over the weekend a top Chinese diplomat said relations between the UAE and China are at their "best period" in history.
