Bush hosts Mohammed bin Zayed at Camp David


(Wam) Filed on June 29, 2008

CAMP DAVID — General Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, yesterday arrived at Camp David presidential retreat.

President Bush welcomed Gen. Shaikh Mohammed to the rustic wooded retreat in the Maryland Mountains in typical fashion.

This visit was a return favour for Bush's stay in Abu Dhabi in January, during which he travelled to the Abu Dhabi Crown prince's desert playground, a remote encampment where he raises horses and prize falcons. Bush was feted there with a lavish feast.

After chatting and posing for cameras, the two leaders climbed into a golf cart and Bush squired his guest off for a tour of the grounds. They had a picnic dinner. Their official meetings — all private and closed to any media coverage — were scheduled for yesterday.
