FORGING stronger Russian-Emirati relations was the center of the recent phone call between UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
The presidents discussed a range of regional and international issues such as the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the situation in Ukraine.
Sheikh Mohamed declared UAE’s unwavering commitment to regional and global peace and stability.
The Russian leader expressed his gratitude to his Emirati counterpart for the Gulf nation’s role in mediating a prisoner exchange between the Russian Federation and Ukraine.
In a meeting in December of last year, Putin invited the Emirati leader to attend the next BRICS Summit in the Russian city of Kazan this October.
Under Russia’s Presidency, Putin said the next BRICS summit will focus on creating a fair world order and criticized the West for demanding a so-called “rules-based world order”.
