His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE President, has congratulated Donald Trump on being elected as the 45th President of America, wishing him success in his future tasks.
In his congratulatory cable, Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed commended the strategic relations between both countries and peoples. He also highlighted the UAE's keenness to boost these relations in various fields.
Earlier today, His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has congratulated Republican Donald Trump on his historic win in the US elections to become the President Elect.

His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, also dispatched similar cables to Trump.
Earlier today, Trump stunned America and the world Wednesday, riding a wave of populist resentment to defeat Hillary Clinton in the race to become the 45th president of the United States.
The Republican mogul defeated his Democratic rival, plunging global markets into turmoil and casting the long-standing global political order, which hinges on Washington's leadership, into doubt.
Trump was soon to address his jubilant supporters at a victory party in Manhattan, his hometown.
Clinton could only secure 218 electoral votes.
