Manama: Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Foreign Minister, and Condoleezza Rice, US Secretary of State, on Monday signed in Bahrain a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation in peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
Commenting on the signing of the MoU, Shaikh Abdullah said: "The UAE-US MoU represents an excellent example of cooperation the UAE hopes to forge with responsible nuclear supplier states in the area of peaceful nuclear energy." There are potential mutual benefits to both parties from deepening cooperation in the development of the UAE's domestic nuclear energy sector."
Rice welcomed the arrangement and said: "We are very supportive of what you are trying to do. As you know we think access to nuclear energy is very important. The UAE is a responsible partner and a responsible power."
The UAE has said it plans to establish a $100 (about Dh360) million agency to look into developing nuclear energy to satisfy rising electricity demand.
The UAE has promised to draw up laws to govern the sector and establish a nuclear regulatory authority and an international advisory board of nuclear experts as well as to seek assistance from other governments.
Shaikh Abdullah has said the UAE will work closely with the UN atomic energy watchdog, the IAEA, for its planned nuclear programmes to assure the world it remains peaceful. It has already signed a nuclear cooperation deal with France.
Later Rice was set to meet ministers from the Gulf Cooperation Council - an alliance of six Gulf Arab states.
The GCC has said it is studying a joint nuclear energy programme.
