The cycling federation for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is working on ways to increase the level of the sport in their country. Thursday, the federation's President, Shaikh Faisal bin Humaid Al Qasimi, and the Secretary General Mansour Juma Bu Osaiba met with Belgium ambassador Philippe Dartois. According to the Khaleej Times, the two talked about how to promote cooperation between the two countries for cycling.
The meeting is an initial step toward collaboration. "This the first and introductory meeting, which I can say, is informal. We initiated this move as we know Belgium is a great cycling nation. There is the possibility of establishing a long term relation between the two countries in the field of cycling," said Osaiba to the Khaleej Times.
