The case of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) foreign aid demonstrates new principles and instruments of SSC; first of all it is solidarity and engagement with the UN and other governmental and non-governmental aid organizations to contribute to the development of the Global South countries. The visibility of the UAE at the regional (Middle East) and international level led the country to contribute to all types of aid activities, particularly humanitarian efforts. As a matter of fact, the UAE is a ‘humanitarian nation’, where aid has become part of its daily foreign policy activities. Consequently, its relations with countries in the “South” and developing countries became much stronger due to the fact that it has contributed to their economic developments and humanitarian efforts. South-South cooperation includes transfer of technologies and resources between the developing countries. Using predominantly quantitative methodology the author analyses the UAE strategy of the foreign aid and proves its coherence with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of the United Nations. Moreover, the author shows the extension of the UAE foreign aid “map”: largest aid recipient for the UAE are mainly in Asia and Africa where the poorest countries in the world exist.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья посвящена феномену деятельности «новых доноров» в рамках сотрудничества Юг- Юг. Пример оказания международной помощи Объединенными Арабскими Эмиратами (ОАЭ) демонстрирует новые принципы и инструменты сотрудничества Юг-Юг; прежде всего, это солидарность и взаимодействие с ООН и другими правительственными и неправительственными организациями по оказанию помощи в целях содействия развитию стран «Глобального Юга». Положение ОАЭ на региональном (ближневосточном) и международном уровне обязывает страну к оказанию всех видов помощи, особенно гуманитарной. По сути, ОАЭ являются «гуманитарной нацией», где содействие развитию становится частью ежедневной внешнеполитической деятельности государства. Следовательно, отношения ОАЭ со странами Юга и так называемыми «развивающимися странами» стали развиваться в достаточно активном режиме, поскольку ОАЭ способствуют экономическому росту этих государств. Сотрудничество Юг-Юг включает в том числе обмен технологий и ресурсов между развивающимися странами. Используя преимущественно количественную методологию, автор анализирует стратегию внешней помощи ОАЭ и подтверждает ее согласованность с Целями устойчивого развития и Целями развития тысячелетия, объявленными ООН. Более того, автор показывает расширение географии иностранной помощи ОАЭ: крупнейшими получателями помощи ОАЭ в основном являются государства Азии и Африки, где находятся самые бедные страны мира.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>the United Arab Emirates (UAE)</kwd><kwd>South</kwd><kwd>South cooperation (SSC)</kwd><kwd>foreign aid</kwd><kwd>the Middle East</kwd><kwd>Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)</kwd><kwd>Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)</kwd><kwd>Arab aid</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Объединенные Арабские Эмираты (ОАЭ)</kwd><kwd>сотрудничество Юг</kwd><kwd>Юг</kwd><kwd>международная помощь</kwd><kwd>Ближний Восток</kwd><kwd>Цели устойчивого развития</kwd><kwd>Цели тысячелетия в области развития</kwd><kwd>межарабская помощь</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Almezaini, K.
