A senior government official Friday rubbished media reports that suggested a change in UAE position towards Israel.
The reports claimed that the appointment of an Israeli representative to the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena), headquartered in Abu Dhabi reflect a change in UAE position towards the Jewish state.
However, Maryam Al Falasi, Director of Communications at the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, clarified in a statement that "Irena is an international, independent agency that works according to the laws, regulations and norms that govern the work of such organisations."
Therefore, "any agreement between Irena and Israel does not represent any change in the position of the UAE or its relations with Israel," she was quoted by WAM as saying.
She explained that the functions of missions accredited to Irena, are "limited to affairs related to their communications and dealings with the Agency. They do not, under any circumstances, cover any other activities and do not involve any obligation upon the host country with regards to its diplomatic relations or any other relations."
The Irena Council held its 10th meeting in Abu Dhabi on 24th and 25th November.
