ABU DHABI — United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani emphasised the importance of securing peace and stability in the region during talks in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, the two leaders said.

The meeting took place during Sheikh Tamim’s fraternal visit to the UAE, where the leaders reviewed bilateral relations and explored ways to strengthen cooperation between their countries.

In a post on social media platform X after the meeting, Sheikh Mohamed said he was pleased to welcome Sheikh Tamim and that they discussed the “fraternal relations that unite the UAE and Qatar and their brotherly peoples, and ways to strengthen them for the sake of shared development.”

He added that they exchanged views on regional and international developments “within the framework of our approach that supports peace and stability in the region and the world, and prosperity for all peoples.”

Sheikh Tamim said in a separate message on X that the discussions reflected the two nations’ continued efforts to enhance security and stability across the region.

Earlier this week, the Qatari emir held a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss de-escalation efforts, as Washington and Tehran pursue diplomatic avenues related to Iran’s nuclear programme.
