World leaders descended on the United Arab Emirates on Sunday to offer condolences to new leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on the death of his half-brother President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan in a show of support to a key regional player.

In a tweet French President Emmanuel said,”In Abu Dhabi to pay tribute to the memory of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. He was respected by all for the values of peace, openness and dialogue that he embodied. My full support for his brother who was elected President of the United Arab Emirates as well as for the Emirati people.”
