"Reports about the death of UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed don't correspond to any facts. There was no attack on the sheikh. I plan to meet with Sheikh Abdullah during a visit to the UAE in the coming days", Dmitriev said in a statement.
The foreign minister was reported to have died in a terror attack in Abu Dhabi. The United Arab Emirates' state minister for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, denied the allegation after having a conversation with the diplomat.
In 2018, the UAE sovereign wealth fund's CEO, Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, said that he viewed Russia as a critical market and that through the fund's partnership with the RDIF, it was successfully strengthening its position in the Russian market through co-investment projects that totalled over $1.4 billion.
