of the first UAE Consulate in Los Angeles as the first Consulate in the United
States, which represents a step further in the UAE-US relations, and the city
of Los Angeles is an ideal location for the Consulate, especially if we bear in
mind the many similarities between the UAE and California including diversity
and the concept of economic projects and innovation excellence.
