His aircraft touched down at Zayed International Airport’s presidential wing at 11:30 p.m. local time, where he was received by UAE Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Sheikh Shakhboot Nahyan Al Nahyan and Ambassador Salem Saeed Al-Shamsi.

According to a statement from presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, this year’s summit—themed “The Nexus of Next, All Systems Go”—will center on climate action, sustainable development, and the global energy transition.
