The UAE’s walk on the other side of the road is not just odd, but also difficult to assess. It has been breaking its ties with long-time allies and shifting towards their rivals.
The biggest betrayal, however, is being borne by the United States. Among others, Russia is a major American rival attracting the UAE’s attention. The Emirates was seen teaming up with Russia at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPEIF).
The “guest of honor” at the 2023 forum was the UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed, who didn’t join the Western nations in imposing sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine war. Other foreign officials representing their countries at SPIEF were mostly at the ministerial level.
Western nations, including the U.S. and Europe, remained absent from the forum. SPEIF is one of Russia’s crucial international summits, which captured interest of several Western politicians and investors before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
MbZ told Russia’s Vladimir Putin that the Emirates wished to strengthen relations. He said, “I am pleased to be here today with you, your Excellency, and we wish to build on this relationship and we put our trust in you to do so.”
The diplomatic adviser to MbZ, Anwar Gargash said that UAE’s presence at SPIEF was a “calculated risk”, and part of the Emirates’ policy of de-escalation and dialogue in a polarized world. He said, “This polarization has to be broken.”
The growing cooperation between the UAE and Russia remains questionable, but not merely because of the Emirates’ continued neutral stance over the Ukraine war. It is controversial also because of the UAE’s habit of choosing the other side of the coin.
Recently, the Arab nation has been drifting from the U.S., while strengthening ties with its rivals, including Russia, China, Syria, and Iran. In addition to not supporting the U.S. in isolating Russia through sanctions, the UAE also broke the American sanctions on Syria by inviting Bashar al-Assad to Arab League summit.
It is inviting Assad again to its upcoming controversial COP28 climate summit, a move that will hurt another U.S. strategy of isolating Assad over his involvement in war crimes. While the U.S. has been demanding support from the UAE to isolate the rights abusers like Russia and Syria, the UAE had been instead detaching from the U.S. and breaching Western sanctions.
