Ambassador Bagis is optimistic that the naming of President Joko Widodo Street would further reinforce and intensify the existing sound bilateral relations between the two nations.
Usually, streets in Abu Dhabi are given geographical names to mirror the land history of the streets as well as to preserve the culture and identity of Abu Dhabi.
The Abu Dhabi administration has renamed several main streets in honor of great leaders in Abu Dhabi.
