According to the Emirates News Agency, the “fraternal meeting” under the title “Prosperity and Stability in the Region” discussed “aspects of cooperation and joint coordination that serve stability and prosperity in the region.”
During the meeting, the leaders discussed several regional and international issues of common interest and the challenges the Arab region is witnessing, and the importance of coordination and strengthening joint Arab action in dealing with these challenges.
They also reiterated “the deep-rooted historical ties between their countries in various fields, and their mutual keenness on communication, consultation and continuous coordination towards various transformations in the region and the world.”
