The document signed improves the exchange of knowledge and experiences in nine areas, including digital economy, artificial intelligence, eGovernment, creative industries and science.

The Memorandum was agreed with the UAE Prime Minister's Office, and since 2018, the UAE has developed this type of cooperation with eleven countries, including Spain, Greece, Egypt, Jordan, Costa Rica, Senegal, Sudan, Kyrgyzstan, Iraq, Uzbekistan and Colombia.

The document was signed in the presence of Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, who is the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance of the UAE and Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and with whom the Prime Minister had a meeting earlier today.

The main topics of this bilateral meeting, which is the first meeting of the Prime Minister with the ruling family of Dubai at that level, were cooperation between the two countries, development of artificial intelligence, completion of the greatest world event - Expo 2020 World Exhibition in Dubai and new technologies.

After the meeting, in the company of Assistant Director General for Leadership and Government Capabilities at the Office of the Prime Minister of UAE Yasir Alnaqbi, Brnabic visited Emirates Towers, which contains offices focused on artificial intelligence, science, education and innovation. Minister without portfolio in charge of innovation and technological development Nenad Popovic accompanied the Prime Minister on the tour.
