Abu Dhabi, June 13, 2010 (WAM)- British Prime Minister David Cameron asserted that the friendship between UAE and UK is deep and is based on a unique, shared history and common interests. "The deep friendship between the UK and the UAE is based on a unique, shared history and common interests. But even more important than these is our common future. We are committed to strengthening our cooperation on defence and security, as long-standing friends with shared vital interests.
