At the meetings the current situation and prospects of relations between Estonia and the UAE were spoken about, along with developing economic ties and potential cooperation in e-governance, including in third countries.

"Estonia's user-friendly soltions have attracted remarkable attention in the UAE. We hope that the experience of Estonian entrepreneurs in developing e-government can be applied also in developing e-government in the UAE," Reinart said.
