of the UAE, is currently vacationing at his villa in France
near Geneva. We expect him to continue his vacation in

Zayed's advanced age and uncertain health, meetings with
him are normally only confirmed at the last minute.

a meeting for the President's Special Envoy, Zalmay

Nahyan, both of whom are expected to be in country during
