Relations between the two were strained following theJyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy. Summoning non-resident Danish ambassador to UAEHans Klingenberg to his office in 2008, UAE Foreign Affairs MinisterAnwar Mohammed Qarqash remarked that the UAE was "keen to bolster and sustain relations with many countries worldwide, including the kingdom of Denmark" but reiterated the stance of the UAE "on non-mixing up the Press freedom and ridiculing Islam". He added that the event had cast a shadow on the bilateral relations, noting that the Danish government could do more to stop the defamation of Islam and that the UAE would remain "vocal and tolerant, and build foreign relations," but would "not tolerate attacks on its Islamic heritage."[2]
