His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, has met with the President and CEO of Amazon, Andrew R. Jassy.

The meeting reviewed opportunities to strengthen cooperation and enhance strategic partnerships across various vital sectors, including e-commerce, cloud computing, advanced technology, digital innovations, and artificial intelligence solutions.
