The new UAE ambassador earned a degree in Business Administration and Economics in the U.S., after which he embarked on his diplomatic career at the United Arab Emirates’ MFA.
His early assignments laid the groundwork for his subsequent roles at the UAE’s diplomatic and consular missions globally. His first foreign posting was in Thailand, followed by assignments in Germany, the UK, Egypt, Brazil, Argentina, Houston in the U.S. and, finally, Mexico.
During his tenure as ambassador to the United Mexican States, Ambassador Almenhali also fulfilled the duties of Non-Resident Ambassador to the Republic of El Salvador, the Republic of Guatemala, and Belize. His significant contributions to diplomacy were recognized with an award from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates.
Ambassador Almenhali, who is fluent in both Arabic and English, took on the prestigious role of Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Serbia in April 2024.
