The Federal National Council (FNC) demanded yesterday that Emiratis receive the same treatment Americans get at UAE ports. Mohammad Abdullah Ali Al Zaabi, a member from Sharjah, questioned the Foreign Ministry over the treatment received by Emiratis who travel to the US for study, treatment or tourism. "Emiratis are interrogated, searched and denied the right to communicate with the UAE embassy’s officials at US ports despite the fact that they hold a legal visa. Is that the reciprocal treatment we Emiraatis deserve while the UAE is the second largest trade partner to the US and a strategic partner in the American war on terror," Al Zaabi told the FNC.
Dr Anwar Mohammad Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, said that the Foreign Ministry is working on getting reciprocal treatment from 34 countries, including the USwhose subjects get visa on arrival at the UAE ports.
