Watermelon Communications\u00a0—<\/strong>\u00a0Patrick Michael, a commentator on the Middle East, wrote: Energy, Strategy, and Security; these three parameters have defined and shaped Russia-Middle East relations in the post-Cold War era. At a microcosmic level, this also applies in the case of UAE-Russia ties.<\/p>\n

While energy creates interdependence and makes partnership the only viable option on the table, security and strategy continues to be an entangled web.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Putin embarks on another significant visit to the Gulf<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 essentially UAE and Saudi Arabia \u2013 it\u2019s time to revisit the three parameters. A good starting point is the conversion of views and strategies on energy supplies.<\/p>\n

A broad agreement over the output cut is critical considering the pressure on oil prices in the wake of a slowing global economy. There\u2019s nothing more fruitful for the industry and the economy than the big suppliers working in coordination and Russia \u201cdeeply values the significant contribution the UAE is making to the global oil cooperation under Opec.\u201d<\/p>\n

Putin\u2019s visit to UAE is another testimony to the major role the host country has been playing in the new world order emerging as a result of increased Russian engagement in this part of the world.<\/p>\n

With the\u00a0volume of trade between the UAE and Russia<\/a>\u00a0reaching US$3.4 billion in 2018, it has become important for both sides to engage at various levels.<\/p>\n

ADNOC<\/a>\u00a0officials recently held talks with Russian counterparts to discuss joint investment opportunities with Russia in a bid to further expand strategic partnership in the production of hydrocarbons and LNG.\u00a0Mubadala<\/a>\u00a0is also keen to increase its investments in Russia.<\/p>\n

Russia and the UAE are also in unison over the de-escalation of tension in the region, beginning with Yemen. They both also agree on preventing Iran from jeopardizing energy supplies and creating chaos.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s the element of security that\u2019s of prime significance. Attacks on oil installations in recent months are a concern for both the sides as no one can afford a disruption in supplies, leave alone a security environment in which terrorists, and countries backing them, call the shots.<\/p>\n

With the impending Putin visit, the UAE is destined to play a pivotal role in setting that agenda and acquiring centre stage in a newly emerging world order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
