The President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Sheikh Mohammed reviewed the ongoing preparations to host the conference, the Dubai Ruler said in a tweet.

“Today, @MohamedBinZayed and I reviewed preparations to host COP28, which is set to bring together 70,000 participants from 198 countries. We look forward to bringing the world together in the UAE to discuss how we can join hands to protect our planet,” Sheikh Mohammed said.
